Dear Mr. Joyce
I telegraphed to you on the 22nd to tell you that the sheets from
America had arrived that day. I am glad to say that the binders will be
rather quicker over their work than I had expected and have promised to
deliver some of the books in a fortnight's time. For safety, however, we are
announcing the 15th as the date of publication. The twelve presentation
copies that you wish sent out shall go out the first of all, before the review
copies. I will send you the three copies for which you ask: I am very much
obliged to you for the one you are going to be so kind as to give me and
to write in. If you will accept it from me I would like to give you your own
copy, apart from the ten that are yours by arrangement. This will leave four
for your account.
The nominal published price is 6/— but the book will be
obtainable
at shops for 5/—. The trade price for single or for a few copies will
be
4/3; for a dozen or more 3/9. When the book is out I will inquire the
postage rate per dozen to Switzerland. I am glad to hear you hope to be
able to dispose of a few dozen in Zurich.
I have written to ask Mr. Huebsch to send me copies of the American
press notices unless he has already arranged to send them to your
agent.
Please accept my best wishes for your birthday and many kind
regards | Yours sincerely
