I enclose a letter addressed to you c/o The Egoist. Many thanks for your letter[1] and suggestions for foreign reviews of your novel. I sent copies (with copies of the May & June Egoist) to the two Geneva papers you spoke of and to Professor Olivieri[2] and Mr. Mario Borsa[3] — with letters also to the two last — though whether diplomatic or not I am not sure. It is a little difficult for the publisher also to do these things.[4] After receiving your previous letter I wrote to Mr. John Jaffé but have had no reply. I have not succeeded in tracing the London correspondent of the Corriere della Sera (Milan). The Italian press agency here does not know of anyone writing under the pseudonym of Giovanni Emanuel but said that a Mr. Canagna, who was the London correspondent of the paper, has left London and they do not know his address. Reuter's agency could tell me nothing. The Russian paper to which Mr. Cournos sent a review was the Apollon (Petrograd). He does not know on what date it appeared.

I got your corrections from your agent and the printers now have the book in hand. I will send you a complete proof as soon as they come. Nine more copies of the book (completing the third dozen) were sent off to you two days ago.

I hope you have recovered from the attack of tonsilitis and that your eyes are better too. You are indeed unfortunate in being troubled with such a number of illnesses: they seem to have a conspiracy not to let you alone. I suppose there are not many people who have the good fortune to be always well like me. | With kind regards | Yours sincerely
