Stuk 164 - Letter from Arthur Ransome to R. C. Trevelyan

Poste Restante, St. Mawes, Cornwall. - Saw [Jonathan] Cape yesterday, who will consider publishing a selection of Trevelyan's works at once; the question of a collected works is to wait. Made it clear that Trevelyan is not prepared to pay anything for the publication of the selection. Repeatedly encourages Trevelyan to write or see Cape at once, taking the line that he is content with a decent royalty, and to get a selection together; this need not be final, as alterations can be made later. Strict injunctions against procrastination. Signs off as 'Your affectionate impresario'.
