From John Lane: ' have just heard from John Lane Company, New York, with reference to your letter of 11th inst. Messers, Cupples & Leon are publishers who make a speciality of issuing pirate editions of non-copyright books, and this I think accounts for the press notice you have received. If you would like me to obtain copies of the pirated editions for you I will have an order sent to New York.'
Dated at The Bodley Head, Vigo St.
