Dear Sirs,

We included in the Third Programme on the 9th February, a reading of 466 words from "The Death of a Moth" (The Streets), by Virginia Woolf, as an interlude, in order to bridge a gap between programmes.

I am sorry ^that we did not get your permission for the use of this work in advance of the broadcast, but very much hope you will have no objection and suggest a fee of three guineas for this reading.  I am enclosing our usual form of agreement which perhaps you will be good enough to sign and return if you are able to agree to these terms.

We have also selected other prose extracts from the works of Virginia Woolf for use with as Third Programme interludes from time to time.  Perhaps you would kindly let me know if provisional consent can be given to the broadcasting of these readings, subject to payment of fees on the following scale :-

A reading of 200 words, or less     ...         ...         ...         1 guinea.

"      "         "  201    "       to 350 words     ...         ...         2     "

"      "         "  351    "       "   500    "           ...         ...         4     "

"      "         "  501    "       "   750    "           ...         ...         6     "

"      "         "  751    "       " 1000    "           ...         ...         8     "

and every succeeding 500 words (or part thereof) over 1,000 an additional two guineas.

Yours faithfully, | E M Layton [signature] | E.M. Layton. | Copyright Department.
