Dear Sirs,

It has been the custom for many years that William Jackson, the London exporters, have been given permission by you to export to the United States up to 250 copies of a new title by Virginia woolf [sic]. We are publishing this autumn the last volume of Virginia Woolf’s posthumous essays, etc., THE CAPTAIN’S DEATH BED, and we would be most grateful if you would be so kind as to extend this permission to william [sic] Jackson. This will of course be the last time which it will apply.

Yours faithfully, | p.p. THE HOGARTH PRESS LTD.
