Sept. 26th, 1905
Dear Mr. Joyce,
I won't send you back your poems unless you tell me to again; and for this reason: if in this new business of Mrs Grant Richards's we make enough success with our first books, we shall be more able to make experiments with those which are not distinctly of a commercial nature.
Of course if you would like to have the manuscript back so as to send it to another publisher, do not hesitate to say so. Believe me, dear Mr. Joyce, Very faithfully yours,
On 28 Sept. Joyce replied gratefully that Richards could keep the
MS until he could find a way to publish it. On 15 Oct. he wrote Richards
that Symons had suggested he try Messrs. Constable with his poems and
stories. He apologized for sending a new MS of the poems to Constable,
and he offered Richards his collection of 12 short stories to be called
Dubliners
