Dear Mr. Joyce
I wrote to you a week ago to tell you of the safe arrival of your
corrections of the three chapters of your novel but the letter has just been
returned to me. I sent on the corrections at once to the American publisher.
He has not mentioned to me any particular date on which he hopes to
publish the book nor has he said how soon he will be able to send sheets
over here. As soon as there is any more definite news from him I will write
to you.
I quite agree with you that it might be useful to insert in the copies
that go out for review slips containing some extracts from the press notices
of your book Dubliners.[1]
Your agent has now sent me these and I will make a selection unless you
would prefer to do it yourself. The ten copies that you wish to buy could
be sent out when the review copies go or a few days earlier if you would
prefer it. Perhaps you will let me know later on whether they should be
sent to Mr. Pound: otherwise they could easily be sent out from here if you
would let me have the addresses later: in this case I suppose you would
send notes or slips to be enclosed.
I hope you are able to make some progress with your new book. |
With kind regards | Yours sincerely
