31st January, 1950.

Dear Mr Giroux,

Thank you for your letter of January 27 enclosing your cheque for £128.11.5d., being the proceeds of the sale of the serial rights of ‘Flying Over London’ to Vogue.

Unfortunately, Mr. Woolf has had to go into a nursing home for an operation and so cannot, at the moment, deal with correspondence. I am glad to say he is making good progress and will, I know, be glad to hear how successful you have been in placing the serial rights in the essays.

Meanwhile, we have been through the corrections you list and agree that the changes you make for the following pages are correct: 10, 80, 143, 147, 183, 185, 188, 192, 207, 214. Page 122, line 11, however, should remain as it stands. Page 168, line 15 is correct, but in line 17, ‘Anne’ should be changed to ‘Anna’.

We have also some additional corrections. These occur on the following pages: 21, 22, 23, 26, 36, 77, 96, 135, 136, 137, 141, 142, 143, 159, 162, 173, 174, 176, 186, 190, 193, 201, 202, 207, 212, 218 and 221. I have made these on the pages concerned and have pleasure in enclosing them. Do please let me know if there is anything in them which is not clear.

With regard to your postscript, proofs of the jacket are not yet to hand, but we will let you have one as soon as they come from the printer.

Yours sincerely, | for The Hogarth Press Ltd.
