If you're looking for permission, you're not likely to get it, and more importantly, you don't need it. If it is public domain, it is yours to do with as you wish. Just understand that some people aren't going to like it.
I can go on Amazon and get Don Quixote in all its 1000+ pages, or I can get an abridged version that has 300 or less pages. They all have Cervantes name on the cover. They don't document every deletion, but they do make it clear that they have made changes. The key is not to mislead people into thinking this is the original. A link in the text to the original on Project Gutenberg would be helpful.
