Dear Sirs,

 

The Common Reader Series I and Series II

 

Will you please cancel the instructions which we gave you in our letter of last Friday, as we now learn from the mill that the extra paper which we had ordered for the above books has been made and is being dispatched to you immediately. Please, therefore, revert to our previous instructions and print us 5000 copies of each book, 1200 of each for the Stationary Office order and 1800 of each for our own edition.

 

We should like to see proofs of the prelims [preliminary pages] as soon as possible, when we will send you instructions for imposition and delivery of sheets.

 

Yours faithfully | for The Hogarth Press
