Dear Sir,
I am glad to get your letter of March 9th and am sending
you a couple of copies of our edition of the "0od of His Fathers",
although, as you will see, It Is printed from the American
plates aid we are using the same cover design as J'cClure. In
the first instance we only bought from HcClure 500 copies in
sheets; these are just exhausted. We have since cabled for
200 copies more, of which we have received notice of shipment
to-day, and at the same time we ordered a set of plates which
will doubtless arrive in due course. You probably know something
of the extreme difficulty of introducing a new writer to the
English market, especially a non-Knglish writer, and while the
above numbers may seem small to you, we are entirely satisfied
and have every confidence that you will ultimately get a large
public here , which you undoubtedly deserve.
Our present intention is to publish "The son of the
Wolf" in the coming Autumn, unless anything at present unforeseen
turns up to prevent it.
I will see that you get English clippings and will send
duplicates of those which have already appeared and send them to
you*
I understand that TfcOlure, Phillips & 0o., have a long
story by you now In their hands. The London representatives of
the house have been uncertain whether t'ney were going to publish
it or not. I have told them, without any conditions, that we
want it under any circumstances, whether they publish it or not.
You will understand from this that we are anxious to take from
you whatever you write, with the exception of the one book which
you have promised to I'acraillan, and shall hope to be regarded as
your regular publishers on this side.
A subject which I should like to commend to your consideration Is the advisability of your making a trip over here.
You have probably already made up your own mind that you wi3h to
see ]&irope and we shall be glad to encourage you to realise that
wish at the earliest opportunity. Ily personal belief is that
you could make a large success of a volume of stories of London
life and there are equal opportunities waiting for you in the
