Dear Mr. Joyce,
I have before me the agreement that you entered into with this house for "Dubliners". We will give you now exactly the same agreement, on the understanding that you take, as you say, 120 copies of the book at trade price. The book would be published at 3/6 net and we should supply the copies to you at 2/6; and it is understood that you will pay for them as soon as they are ready.
The book shall be put in hand at once and published as soon as can be conveniently arranged. Sincerely yours,
On 3 February Joyce replied suggesting an increase in royalties
from 10% to 15% after the first 8,000 copies and offering to read and
return proof in two days.
