Item 63 - Letter from Michael Sadler to R. C. Trevelyan

62 Clarendon Road, Holland Park, W. - Is very annoyed with [Otto] Kyllmann: Sadler drafted a reply [20/59] to Trevelyan's letter [20/65] and left it for Kyllmann to read, but Kyllman sent it back without reading it and asked him to arrange things with Trevelyan. This arrangement has wasted Sadler and Trevelyan's time, and 'irritated [Sadler] considerably'; suggests that in future Trevelyan writes directly to Kyllmann at Constables (10 Orange Street), which will compel him to answer; Sadler cannot move without Kyllmann's authority. Will do his best to answer now: sends back his draft answer to Trevelyan's third point [20/59] as he does not have time to write it out; good that Trevelyan will 'act for the competitors' [recte contributors]; Constables only wish to retain copyright of the book 'as a collection'; comments on clause 9 and on payments. Advises Trevelyan to make any changes he wishes in the margin to the draft agreement and then send it to Kyllmann.
