Dear Sirs,

With reference to our previous correspondence, as we wrote to you, we are considering the publication of a series of books illustrating the work of modern artists. We should be obliged if you could give us an estimate for the following work. We should include in each book 30 half tone reproductions from photographs printed on art paper. The size of page would be demy 4 to, and the average dimensions of blocks would be about 7” by 5”. What we should like would be an estimate for print-ing 1000, 2000, and 3000 respectively [illeg.] (a) 80 illustrations, (b) 60 illustrations. We understand from your letter that you anticipate better results from having the printing as well as the making of the block done by Schuler. We presume that in that case it is not necessary under any Customs or other regul-ations that the printer’s name or the place of origin should be printed on the sheets. We ask because we understand that there have been cases lately in which the customs authorities have attempted action of this kind with regard to printing done abroad which in effect would entail the disfigurement of the page.

Yours faithfully | THE HOGARTS PRESS | Leonard Woolf [signature]
