August 21 Saturday – In Weggis, Switzerland Sam wrote to Chatto & Windus, enclosing “all the proof I have” for FE. He asked what date Bliss had settled on for Chatto to issue the book. Would Chatto coordinate terms with translators and Continental publishers? Sam also requested “2 dozen strong big envelops—of a size big enough to hold 3 quires of my paper comfortably.” He wanted them for unfinished articles. After his signature he added a request for Julia Langdon, who was “anxious to get the enclosed to the right address. Please look in the Directory—Mrs. Bell is not a new resident, but an old one—& gets her living by translating for the publishers” [MTP].

Sam read the last chapter of proofs for the English edition of FE [Aug. 22 to MacVeagh].
