Catalogue Note
Grant Richards had published Dubliners in 1914 (after a slew of travails that had delayed publication by eight years) and by 1917 he was considering a reprint. This note, to the literary agent James B. Pinker, followed on from a letter Joyce had written to Pinker on 30 March in which he asked Pinker to confirm if Richards "has my list of corrections of printer's errors?" for incorporation into any new edition. Seemingly unpublished: not in Ellman, Letters.
