Dear Mr. Joyce

I am rather ashamed at having so long delayed in writing to thank you for your book. I have added it to "Dubliners" on my shelves with very great pleasure, a pleasure however that is qualified by the absence of my own name from the title-page. I am still however inclined to think that if a regular publisher had put out the book there would have been trouble. I hope it is being successful.

When I saw H. G. Wells's review I wrote and asked him if he had read "Dubliners" and sent him a copy on hearing that he had not done so.

In self defence I should perhaps add that your book arrived considerably later than your card which heralded its coming. Very Sincerely yours
