Dear Mr. Joyce
Proofs of the concluding pages of your novel did not arrive till
yesterday. The printers have been slow but I was afraid to hurry them lest
they should do the work badly. I hope you will find I have left few
mistakes. All your corrections have been made, including those you asked
for in your last letter. I do not know when the copies of the book will be
delivered. Already there are a number of orders waiting.
The signed copy of your book Dubliners reached me
but
not your Chamber Music which was dispatched to you at the
same time. I wonder whether it reached you. When the second half guinea
from Mr. Frank
Albert is deducted from the 13/2 owing by you the debt is almost cancelled
— and I you [
folls. del. I] do not seem to have
charged for
the postage of the 1000 press notices from Zurich. It was 4 frs. 50 which,
I suppose, is about 4/—. If you paid this it leaves a small balance in
your
favour.
I hope your eye is recovered now and that you can be sure that the
result of the operation is quite satisfactory. And I hope the climate of
Locarno will suit you better than that of Zurich did. I suppose it is very
much milder.
I expect your book Ulysses has been delayed and that
it
will not be finished as soon as you had expected. | With kind regards |
Yours sincerely
