Scope and content
George Allen & Unwin Ltd, Ruskin House, Publishers & Exporters, 40 Museum Street, London W. C. - Has Trevelyan's manuscript of his "The Ajax of Sophocles", which seems 'quite in order' now; thinks it is a very good plan to put a note below the dramatis personae, and to include the price of Trevelyan's other books. Encloses the formal agreement [24/33], which is based on that for the "Foolishness of Solomon" though the royalties reflect that Trevelyan will in this case bear a 'much smaller proportion of the total outlay'. Further discussion of the terms; he himself has 'faith in the book', though he does not expect the sales will be large at first. Is relying on Trevelyan 'circularising those to whom [he has] previously sent particulars', as this will do much to make the book known.
