George Allen & Unwin Ltd, Ruskin House, Publishers & Exporters, 40 Museum Street, London W. C. - Has had the 'flu, so is only now relying to Trevelyan's letter of 10th December; this 'came as rather a disappointment', as Unwin had hoped one day that his firm might 'have the privilege of publishing' a complete poetic works for Trevelyan. The position regarding Trevelyan's translation of "Ajax" resembles that of his translation of Lucretius, except that Allen and Unwin's 'out of pocket loss' and unsold stock are greater for "Ajax": though Trevelyan contributed towards the cost of production, the publishers are still at a loss of thirty pounds. Explains how much stock is left. For the translation of Lucretius, Trevelyan shared the loss, with the agreement was cancelled and a large portion of stock was cancelled; asks if that seems appropriate also for the "Ajax". Does not want to cancel the agreement for the "Foolishness of Solomon" as he 'value[s] the connection' with Trevelyan's work; however would agree to it being included in a collected edition provided that the above arrangement for the "Ajax" were agreed, Allen & Unwin were named as original publishers, and a copy of the collected edition were sent to the firm.
