Correspondence from Leah Hirsig to William Hanson
December 20, 1920
Collegium ad Spiritum Sanctum, Cefalú, Sicily
Mr. W. G. Hanson, 414 Pearl St. New York City.
Dear Sir,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
We are this morning in receipt of your letter of the first instant. We are disposed to close with your offers generally speaking, but wish to make the following reservations.
1. We understand that the books [Equinox Vol. 3, No. 2] are not bound and shall rely on your good offices to make arrangements with a good firm to bind them, in the style of Equinox Vol. 2, No. 1.
2. We understand that you are to deliver the stock to our order, free of all liability. We understand that the sum of $47 odd, was due to the Graphic Colour Plate Engraving Co., and the sum of $100 to F. A. Ringler, with perhaps some others, and we assume, that you, in quoting the $1,500, intended to pay these. The former of them has, perhaps unknown to you, already been discharged. Are we, therefore, to reduce the $1,500 by this sum making the amount due $1,452 odd?
The sum in question would be paid to you by a draft on a New York bank.
It will expedite matters if, in your reply to this letter, you could let us have an estimate for the binding of the books in the style of Equinox 3-1. We enclose you a slip indicating the alteration in the stamping necessary.
As we have nothing but an imperfect set of galley proofs to guide us, you could send a sample copy bound up for our approval, and you had better have a similar one made for yourself, so that volume should form the basis of a contract whereof we enclose you a form, which would be satisfactory to ourselves, and, we hope to you.
Love is the law, love under will.
Leah Harcourt
