21st June, 1928.
Dear Mr. McKerrow,
Many thanks for your letter of 18th June. We shall easily manage the additional corrections, and adjust the prefatory note.
This is the position:—
We have about 300 copies of the first impression left; but we have just had an order from our New York Branch for 250, being their estimated autumn demand. I have suggested cutting down to 150, so that we shall not have American buyers complaining that a later form is on sale in England. In that case we could tide over till October, and I should have the new impression ready for issue on 1 September, but should hold it until booksellers were safely cleared. We should print in July.
Does this meet your views?
Yours sincerely,
Kenneth Sisam
R. B. McKerrow Esq.,
