Item 62 - Letter from Michael Sadler to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

62 Clarendon Road, Holland Park, W. - Encloses the agreement [between Trevelyan and Constable & Co. for the publication of "An Annual of New Poetry" - no longer present]. Trevelyan will see he is named as 'representative of the contributors'; asks him if he can get a letter signed by the contributors giving their consent to Trevelyan acting for him, as this makes everything simpler and quicker; would probably be best if Trevelyan opens an account for payments for the book and divided the profits himself; the account would also of course be open to any of the 'authorised contributors'. The paper shortage is getting worse, but expects they will be able to get some: 'cheap novel paper that before the war was 2d is now 6 1/2 d!'. Adds a postscript saying that time will be saved after publication if Trevelyan communicates direct with Otto Kyllmann at 10 Orange St, as he himself only goes in occasionally.
