Dear Mr. Joyce
The eight American reviews of your novel that were removed from
my letter of April 4th cannot be traced at the censor's office and appear to
have been destroyed. It seems that it is not permissible to send American
press cuttings from this country to a neutral country: the censor has,
however, been kind enough to say that he will allow the enclosed
type-written copies of the missing eight American reviews to go through to
you. I have written to ask Mr. Huebsch to send the American reviews
direct to you in future. He has sent me none but these eight.
The censor was surprised to hear that the English press notices sent
by me had reached you and said that it is not really permissible to send
English newspaper cuttings except through a press cutting agency. I have
therefore arranged with Messrs Durrant's press cutting agency that they will
send you duplicate cuttings of any further notices that appear. From time
to time I will send you a list of what ought to reach you: please let me
know if any of them do not arrive. I think I have sent you already a total
of twenty four notices including one from an American paper. I suppose
there will not be very many more.
I hope your eyes are quite cured now. | With kind regards | Yours
sincerely
