Dear Sir,

I am acknowledging your letter of the 8th inst., addressed to Mr. Pawling, who is at present in France; but it shall be given to him immediately upon his return.

The manuscript and book mentioned in your letter have arrived safely.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr. Phelan Gibb,

I am only just back from the south of France. I will take an
early opportunity of looking at the two books by Miss Stein which
you have so kindly sent me.

Nicholson very much appreciated your visits to him, and I hope
you will have a great success with the exhibition at the Carfax.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

My dear Phelan Gibb,

I am sorry not to be able to send a favourable reply to your
suggestion that we should publish two books by Miss Gertrude Stein,
THREE LIVES and PEOPLE, and I am returning them to her to-day.
Many thanks for bringing them to our notice.

Mr. Heinemann presents his compliments to Miss Gertrude Stein, and would be very much obliged if she would be good enough to send him her manuscript in the first instance, so that he may examine it and see whether it is suitable for his list. It would then be easy to make an appointment to meet in London and talk over details of publication.

Miss Gertrude Stein,
27, rue Fleurus,
Paris 7.

Dear Miss Stein,

I am sorry not to have written to you
before in answer to your letter and to have
acknowledged the receipt of "Three Lives", but
I wanted to let you know something definite.
As it is, owing to absence of directors and
'flu epidemic I can't do more than say that the
books are still being considered, and I hope in
a few days to send you further information.

I am myself fairly optimistic and think
that it will be possible to publish both of them
along the lines which we discussed. It will, of
course, help matters very much if I can have even
a vague assurance in writing that you are contem-
plating writing your confessions, and that in the
event of success of "Three Lives" and "The Making
of Americans" you would give that to us to publish.
Do you think you could let me have something to
this effect? Naturally it would not be considered
in any way binding and I shall at the same time quite
understand if you prefer to remain silent, but I am
sorry about this delay. It is extremely difficult
at the best of times to make several people with
conflicting views make up their minds, and this in
the middle of the Christmas rush is a particularly
unfavourable moment, but I think things are progressing
favourably.
