Please let me know what I owe you for them. I am glad you liked the little payment I asked my Dutch publisher to send you. You know people tell me it goes on just as well if read backwards. But the designs, I think are very charming.’ With a good signature (slightly smudged), ‘James Joyce’. The paper a little marked and rumpled, pencilled squiggle on cognate page, otherwise V.G. The ‘little payment’ evidently refers to Pugh’s copy of ‘The Mime, Mick & The Maggies,’ a very generous payment. (1) Provenance: From the collection of Joyce’s friend, Thomas Pugh. (1) €4000 - €6000
