Dear Mr. Joyce,
I have just received your letter with its enclosure. I will fill in the
form but I think it should include all the books you have published, whether
in America or in this country alone. I have completed the form and sent it
to Washington.
I will tell the New York publisher what you say. I am very glad to
hear that you are better, but I suppose you are not yet able to work.[1] You saw, I expect, the review by
Wells
in the Nation.[2] If you
have not seen it I will send you a copy. I am getting various other people
interested in the novel, and I hope we shall finally produce an effect this
way. It is selling steadily/and [and interlin.] now that it has
been published Grant Richards, as you may imagine, is fussing around
reminding us of the terms of the contract. He is, however, as little mindful
as ever of his own obligations, as I have only just been able to get the
royalty statement for "The Dubliners" from him. I enclose this, herewith,
and I am today sending you a money order for the amount due to you, and
I shall be glad to hear that it has reached you safely. Will you, please, let
me have the royalty statement back when you have finished
with it?
