Dear Sir,

I am returning by this mail one set of proofs of "Turbott Wolfe", duly corrected. I enclose a list of my corrections in case they are not clear to the printers.

I should be very much obliged if you would be so kind as to arrange with a press-cutting agency to send me any reviews or notices of my book that may appear in English and American papers. Any account in this connection may be rendered direct to me. I am asking you to do me this service because of the difficulty of doing business myself from

this great distance.

Please let me know what is happening about the American edition.

Yours faithfully | William Plomer [signature]
