8 July, 1923

 

Dear Roger,

 

Turner has sent me 9 photos of Duncan’s pictures and I am having blocks made. We propose, as I think I told you, a book of 24 pictures. What I want to know is whether you will edit the series and write an introduction, short, for Duncan’s. I would suggest that you should receive 12

% of the net profits of the series as editor and an additional 12 % in cases where you write an introduction. We are giving the artists 25%. Do you think this fair? When can we meet to discuss this and many other things?

 

Yours | Leonard Woolf[signature]
