Dear Mr. Joyce
Many thanks for your letter. I am glad to hear that you are rather
better even though the progress is very slow and apparently will continue
so. I hope you will not have a relapse again.
Ever since August 1914 Mr. Leigh Henry, for whose address you
ask, has been a prisoner of war (civilian) in Germany. His address when he
last wrote — several months ago — was | Baracke 3, Box 10
|
Engländerlager Ruhleben | Germany. | I think it would be useful to
have as many foreign notices as possible. I will send review copies to the
papers you suggest: I am trying to find out who is the London
correspondent of the Milan paper
you mention. Mme Ciolkowska put a short notice in a French daily paper
L'Intransigeant (I asked her to send you a copy) and the
editor
of that paper, Mr. Fernando Divoni, asked for a review copy and will, I
hope, write a longer notice. Mr. de Bosschère
[1] is too busy to write now, being
very much
occupied with some contract work. I hope, however, that we shall get a
review in the
Mercure de France. Mr. Pound met their
London
correspondent, Mr. Davray,
[2] a day
or two ago and he promised to review the book — but Mr. Pound
says
his promises are not entirely to be replied [sic] upon. Mr. Cournos,
[3] who writes occasionally for the
Egoist, sent a review to a Russian paper.
It is good of you to give you permission for the remaining copies of
the book to be sold to the American publisher if the sales become
unprofitable. But I hope there will be no necessity for this. In fact we are
arranging to bring out another edition in September when someone who has
been with a large publisher is coming to us and should be able to push the
sales. Owing to recent restrictions on the import of books the new edition
is to be printed in England. (I have found a printer brave enough to do it
— supported by the reviews.) I wrote to the American publisher for
a
copy of the corrections you sent him and hope they will arrive in a week
or two. | With many kind regards | Yours sincerely
