Dear Mr. Joyce
Many thanks for sending so quickly the corrections for the third and
fourth chapters of your novel and for making them out so clearly. I am
sorry that the cuttings of chapters I & II had not reached you when
you
wrote. They had to be handed in at the censor's office with an explanation
as to what they were and left for him to look through. It therefore did not
seem possible to send them by express post but perhaps it could have been
done.
Yes, it was your unabridged text that Mr. Marshall agreed to publish.
He has it all but I thought it safer to add the deleted passages also to the
text containing your corrections lest they should be forgotten. I have also
sent him the slip you enclosed.
We have suggested to him that the names of both publishers should
appear in both the American and English editions. Do you agree to this? I
enquired and found that, unfortunately, it will be necessary for the name of
our publishing company (the New Freewoman Ltd.) to appear on the
title page because "The Egoist" is not a legal entity, but the name of the
company will be printed in small type as publishing for "The Egoist"
London (larger type). | With kind regards | Yours sincerely
