Dear Mr. Joyce,
There has been no American edition of "Dubliners". Pirates in
American are not now active. In any case a book like "Dubliners" is
unlikely to have been pirated; and if it had been pirated I should have heard
of it. The letter that was written to you speaking of an American edition
was evidently written under a misapprehension. Such things do
happen.
Of course we have no right to object to your letting Mr. Pinker
handle the dramatic rights of "Exiles".
A letter of mine crossed yours in which I told you that the
"Freeman's Journal" and "Sinn Fein" have not reviewed your book.
Your corrections for "Dubliners" were duly received. A statement of
sales to the end of the year shall be sent to you very soon. Sincerely
yours,
