P.H. Muir, Esq., 
c/o Messrs. Elkin Mathews, 
33 Conduit St., W.1.

 

September 30th 1930.

 

Dear Sir,

 

With regard to the first edition of PHAROS AND PHARILLON by E.M.Forster, this was printed by hand at the Hogarth Press by my wife and myself and all the copies thus printed were printed at the same time. I do not remember how it came about that the bindings differ in different copies, but they were certainly all printed[*,*] and as far as I can remember, all bound at the same time.

 

Yours faithfully,

Leonard Woolf explains that he and Virginia Woolf printed the first edition by hand and cannot account for any differences in copies of the book as they were all bound at the same time.
