Dear Mr. Joyce
I have seen Mr. Pinker again & he still has hopes of getting
some
firm or other to bring out your novel. If he fails, we will do it. I have the
necessary permissions. Meantime, as our journal, is after [folls.
del. is] stringent economics, is now in a better financial position
than
it was when your novel was running through it, we think it only fair to
make you some payment for the past serial rights, & we could now
pay
you £ 50. For safety, lest the letter should by any chance go wrong, I
am writing from my flat & avoiding our official paper, so that the
name
of the sender may not appear. The order is made out in the name of the
journal, not the company. And for safety also I am sending half the amount
now, & when I hear that this has reached you I will send the other
half.
| With kind regards | Yours sincerely
I had thought the Post Office here would have given me an order to
enclose in this letter, but instead they have given me a receipt to keep,
&
they say that the Zürich Post Office will deliver you the money.
