Dear Sir,
I must apologise for not having sooner answered your letter with reference to the manuscript of your verses. I regret to say that it is not at present possible for me to make any arrangements for the publication of the book; but I may say that I admire the work exceedingly and if you would leave the matter open for a few weeks it is possible that I might then be able to make you some offer. The manuscript, I regret to say, has by some mistake been packed up with some furniture of mine that has been warehoused and it is not easy at the moment for me to get at it, so that in any case I shall be glad if you can leave the whole question over for a short time. Faithfully yours,
On 2 May Joyce wrote Richards that he had read in the
Standard that Richards was in money difficulties. Joyce
politely
asked Richards to return the MS of Chamber of
Music.
