Mann is "-- in principle -- interested in your proposition but I cannot at this moment give you a definitive answer. A week or so from now I shall know whether or not a piece of work which I have undertaken to complete before the middle of February will be ready in time for me to accept any additional obligations. You shall have my final reply as soon as possible. Meanwhile I should be glad to be advised as to the fee involved in my proposed guest-performance. unknown books
