I could upload so you can Joyce the equivalent of others $fifty when you look at the a beneficial write payable to help you him within the Switzerland. You to definitely shuts the latest rna tter. I understand that the MS. Theoretically I really don’t think that sometimes Huebsch encountered the right to provide they to you personally, or the Egoist had the straight to establish it so you can your. The brand new MS. I knew you to definitely on mixup they came to you against the newest Egoist as something getting had written and not just like the a present about Egoist.

Unless of course the newest Egoist designed to generate a gift of your own printed number that have those individuals MS. But just like the Joyce is getting the thing i consider he’ll consider a rates for just one page regarding MS.

I that is amazing if you had kept up your associate that have Joyce once your own Clongowes weeks, getting state a-year otherwise several, you happen to be ready to promote him $75 and you also continue just the $twenty five, and therefore in the event your acquaintance had proceeded even offered you might perhaps become willing to make it your to even $90. I am able to thought your thrifty business feel not not as much as one items attempting to assist your have the whole $a hundred. Just where in actuality the so-called “warm-hearted Irish belief” that would be asked, might have been diffused or evaporated, it could possibly end up being ineffective so you can inquire.

It will be ease itself for my situation to own encountered the published book-read that have certainly my sure amounts of one’s Egoist that contains it and you will indicate the changes, or rather create among my copies of Egoist hold to the published guide that will function as the identical to the latest so-entitled MS., with the exception that it might not have one web page out-of MS. for the Joyce’s handwriting together with five contours from interlineation in the handwriting. However,, when i said inside my letter of the three dimensional, We generated a displaying offer and was encouraged because of the trying to help Joyce away. There you’re! You will find definitely one Joyce is astonished at delivering $fifty and will also be pleased of it. It might be ideal in my situation to help you cord they to him in place of are in danger of your own reduce and uncertainty off giving a beneficial write. A extremely really, JOHN QUINN
