Dear Morgan,
Here is a proof of the label which will be on the spine of the book. We shall not have any but this one.
We made the price 5/- because I dont [sic] really believe that there is any difference in sales between 4/6 and 5/- and 4/6 is an awkward accounting sum. Further, the cost of binding is still so big that the expenditure is a good deal more than I estimated.
I had sent a copy of Pharos to Knopf and to-day he offers 10% royalty. I have replied by return that we will agree to a 10% royalty but must have £25 paid in advance on day of publication. By the afternoon post comes a letter from Harcourt, Brace saying that "it is a delightful little book, but it is I fear too slight and remote to get much attention here."

Will you let me have label back by return as I want to get everything finished up before we go
