August 25th, 1909
Dear Mr. Joyce,
I was sorry to miss you when you called. I understand that you are passing through London again in a few days and I shall then hope to be more fortunate. Sincerely yours,
On 4 Sept. 1909 Joyce replied that he would not have time to
stop on his way back from Ireland, adding that Messrs. Maunsel of Dublin
had accepted Dubliners and were planning to bring it out the
following spring. But two years later Dubliners had still not
appeared, and Joyce was embroiled in a dispute with Maunsel & Co.
much like his dispute with Richards. In August of 1911 Joyce prepared a
circular letter called "A Curious History" (reprinted in Gorman, pp.
206-208) in which he recounted his troubles with Dubliners
and
its reluctant publishers—both Irish and English. He sent Richards a
copy.
