They now want to bring out an edition in book form to distribute in the Soviet Zone. This, of course, would cost money as the copies so distributed wouldn't be paid for. Meanwhile, my agent tells me that he was already in negotiation with some other Russian publisher to bring out a translation. It's all in the air yet, but I've suggested that if he does close with this other publisher, your translation should be used, as it would save time, and I know the translation would be a good one. In that case, I suppose you would be paid something – but, as I say, nothing is settled yet. But at any rate, I shall see to it that the book appears in book form, even if I have to finance it myself…" - Letter to Gleb Struve, July 1949.
