Scope and content
Heinemann have decided to issue FH's book at 6/-. FH's gesture of renouncing royalties on the first 10,000 copies was 'greatly appreciated', but they would like to pay him 6d a copy up to 10,000. As the book price is 'uneconomic', they are offering royalties of 15% after 10,000. This does not affect the agreement to pay 20% on all 'normal' editions of FH's books. Discusses arrangements for FH's visit to London.
