Title
Letter from C.H.O. Daniel to C. Elkin Mathews
Date
Sept. 21, 1907
Description
In 1889, Daniel began selling remainders through the Bodley Head, the joint London publishing firm of Elkin Mathews and John Lane. When the firm’s partnership dissolved in October 1894, Daniel continued to work with Mathews alone.
Daniel reluctantly agrees in this letter to sell a copy of the final work issued by the press, Preces vespertinae (1906), to a customer via Mathews for 10 shillings. The book was produced after a hiatus of four years for the private use of Worcester College chapel, and, as Daniel states, “will hardly have a successor.”
