BAC: British Art Center copy includes two letters (ALS) from William Morris to Gilbert Richard Redgrave (although the first bears no addressee). The first, dated July 16th (1892), appears to concern the price of the present publication; Morris indicates that "the matter is out of my hands, as I am (up to the present) not the publisher, but the printer ... I fear that I can do no more than show Mr. Quaritch your letter ..." The second, dated Nov. 13 (1892) concerns "the proportions of page of print to paper" and "a variation in the paper due to necessity" in the present publication. - Subject Terms:
