Miller, Henry, 1891-1980

"In your letter of March 15th you said you were returning Mr. Miller's text to us by registered airmail. The mail service being so unreliable here and not having received anything..."

"You have recently advised me that you have undertaken a completed a screen play for a contemplated feature length documentary theatrical motion picture based upon a portion of my life and activities. As you have requested, I am writing this letter to indicate my interest in the possibility of such a project..."

"Thank you very much for your letter of July 30. I assure you that I will send you a dozen copies of FACE TO FACE by air mail as soon as possible..."

"Thank you for your letter of August 10th. I should have told you when I sent you the proof copy that it was uncorrected. We have in fact sent corrected proofs to the printer..."

"I am sorry to hear that you did not like the translation. As you probably saw on the title page, two transltors[sic] worked on this book. We were very disappointed by the first translator's version and asked Tony Macnab to improve it. He more or less re-tranaslated[sic] the whole book..."

"We do indeed have the right to make a deal with an American publisher. Michel Hoffman and I agreed that I should handle the sale of American rights providing that the contract was approved and/or signed by the Hoffman agency..."

"I have received a cable from Quadrangle Books which suggests that you are still anxious about our right to sell your book to an American publisher. In order to set your mind at rest, I enclose a copy of the contract we signed with Michel Hoffman, and you will see that the last clause clearly states that we control American rights..."

"I would be grateful if you would return the contracts to me. You will see that in the contract we sent you it is sufficient for you to approve any American contract and I take it that you are prepared to do this provided a clause is written into the American contract that a new translation will be written for the American edition..."

"You are quite right in thinking that there is a discrepancy between what you have been paid and what you are owed. I have asked our accounts department to make out a royalty statement bringing your account completely up to date and providing you with such royalties as we owe you..."

"I apologize at the start for sending this to you without a query first. It's the typescript of Love's Bawdy, our 1979 calendar, so there wouldn't have been enough time. We thought you might be interested..."
