I have just received your postcard of the 19th., and I reply at once by express.
The date for the publication of your novel is not yet fixed, and we cannot fix it until we hear from America. The American publisher is going to set up the book and The Egoist will, I believe, take sheets.[1] In America we shall get Ten Pounds on account of royalty, but on this side there is to be no advance paid on publication. Directly the date is settled I will advise you. Correspondence with America is slow now, as you can understand, but I will expedite matters so far as I possibly can.
I have not yet heard from the Drama about the play, but I hope to get a decision from the Stage Society in a few days about the proposed production here.
Grant Richards tells me he is very short-handed, and has not therefore been able to send me the royalty-account for "Dubliners". There is, he says, however, no royalty due to you, as the 500 copies free of royalties are not yet sold. As soon as I do get the account I will send it on to you.
The verses are now with The Nation.
