13.

March 6th, 1906
Dear Mr. Joyce,

Many thanks for your letter of February 28th.

You tell me that your prospects mainly consist in the chance of getting money enough from your book or books to enable you to resume your interrupted life. Here the commercial factor is of course the dominant one. One naturally dislikes to intrude that view too strongly, but it is not the best work which pays the best, as you know. Still, if you were to write a novel — a novel that might in some sense be autobiographical — and write it as well and as vitally as you have written these short stories, I believe that you might score a considerable success both of esteem and of sale.

I enclose your copy of the agreement for "Dubliners" signed by Mrs. Grant Richards. In view of what you say I think you may take it for granted that we shall not publish the book until September. Believe me, dear Mr. Joyce, Sincerely yours,

On 13 March Joyce announced that he would send another story to be inserted between "The Boarding-House" and "Counterparts." He added that he had written half of a novel in some sense autobiographical (25 chapters, 914 pages) but that in his present circumstances he could not continue it. Pages 477-902 of this early version have been found and published as Stephen Hero.
