Dear Mr. Joyce
I am afraid I am not an imaginative enterprising and resourceful
publisher but merely imitative. The request of the American publisher has
suggested to me that it would be useful to print in The Egoist
before the publication of your novel an article on you which perhaps Mr.
Pound would be good enough to write.[1] If you agree to this I will ask him.
Would
you be willing for it to be accompanied by a woodcut of yourself which I
would get the young Norwegian, Mr. Kristoin,[2] to do if you could supply a
photograph?
Perhaps Mr. Pound has one?
I send this by express post in order that you may have the two
suggestions together. Please reply to me to | c/o Miss Wright | Frodsham
| near Warrington | where I go on Thursday next week. | With kind
regards | Yours sincerely
