Ezra Darlin

Lovely - I will with joy take the extra vellum parts and as you say have bound up other sheets to make the whole. Thanks. Have written binder to register you immediately the 2 vellums and 2 extra leathers. Can't think why he hasn't done so days ago. You see, even for that small expeditiousness one would have to be on the spot. I say 2 leathers because I remember how many extras there are- may be more. IOI 'regular' sold now. The I being to Dr Slo-nimski !!! Warmly (i.e. lengthily) pleased you are content with book. Hope the vermeils will be beautiful - the maquette was excellent ; had to leave before binder could get these done.

Thank you for sending to Zuk and to Steve. Sorry not to have had Zuk's address in time. I sent Eliot a free for himself. Re Ford, by chance I saw him in the doorway and he said he

was going to USA mid Sept (I think); but will now write him Rue Vaugirard and say there's a copy on ice. Richard has a review copy.

Have been out of touch with everything since Aug 16 - now sending out this address. FOR ALAS, the aftermath of production is long. Payment, too slow. Four more books have to be done before I really can close the Press (close its publicity that is - will always keep pre-mises for you and me). Wynn has signed on with me to do these by Christmas - but oh god will she? Thank god the Cantos are out. Am sending circulars of Cantos to yo dad's addresses.

There are three or four new poems in Rodker's book; I liked the book pretty well through a careful reading. Will be out Oct I.

Will send some royalties as soon as I can get some payments - a campaign of bills goes out from here! Ventadour was beautiful even outer-gateways. Montréjeau we felt shd never be gone near in this season, the Lourdes stench traversed the 100 kils distant and even St Berland was not as ..blithe as I'd hoped. So back to the Dordogne. Dayon Renou Crisse? I kills up rever from Beleastel. Lovely, if very hot. Write to me, love-N.

At last my cuir vermeil ahs come so I hope
you are in possession of the velins and two
cuirs also ? Looks well - for the last time be
it said B really might have done it better ,
ceaner (without undue criticalness) !! Ford
has just answered me - leaving then and there
for USA. but I'll have the Aquila send him a
copy for himself from Paris next week to his
N.Y.C. address. Louise writes she will review
Cantos shortly. A pity it's not in a different
paper than Everyman, however ...

Have sent oufhuge bill-calls. And must
send you royalties as soons soon.. Press-ac-
count surprisingly low at moment because of
slow or non-payment .

You'll remember re Lane. That's up once
more. How serious or satisfactory-to-be I dont
know. But it's worth while(?) your writing me

Ezat) Darling,

Alright re Lane-no-Lane ; perhaps later
(when I'm in London and could see <u>NAME</u> him) you might give
me details re Prolegomenia - had no talk of this with Wyn.
SHE is now in Paris and would seem to have written you.
But do remember the Press is at your disposals IF she can
carry on and bring through Cavalcanti, that is AFTER XMAS
(before which as aforesaid she does the 4 books for me.)

Ay but .... think you the British bkseller will PAY be-
fore he gets it ???? I've learnt however to trust them for
a few months; they <u>do</u> pay, that is alright . I will now
make up your account

Binder wrote at last he was then and there sending you
the deux velins (they seem to have taken all this time to
DRY) "d'ailleurs ils sont très bien et j'espère que l'au-
teur en sera content et vous le dira". Alas, binder's
mistake, not half an extra set but page 18 of the velins
was above and over, but will have this bound or maybe
framed for the annals. Also when I get to Paris will see
if there are not due you one or two more free leathers, which
there certainly are.

We do still need a SALESMAN. It is lamentable
