Dear Mr. Joyce,
I have just received your letter of the 24th., and I note that you wish
your verses returned to you at the next opportunity.
Exiles: You will remember that I have only one copy
of
this, and that went to Drama. I am afraid I have no
suggestions
to make regarding it, except that I do not think it stands any chance of
production in present circumstances.
Drama: I will certainly ascertain from this periodical
if
they have accepted your play.
Dubliners: I sent Huebsch a copy of the press notices
for
insertion in the review copies of the novel some time ago.[1]
Novel: I have no reason to think the negotiations are
being held up owing to Huebsch requiring your signature before he signs
himself. I have written to him asking him to let me have the agreement
back signed, but without result, and I can only conclude that his business
is carried on in a very dilatory fashion.
