THE SCRIPPS-MCRAE LEAGUE
EDITORIAL
PRESS BUILDING, CLEVELAND
November 30, 1914.
If. Jack London
Glen Ellen, California.
Dear Sir:
I understand from your publishers—The MacMillan
Company—that the serial rights to your book THE
MUTINTOF THE ELSINOR, are held by yourself.
I should like very much to get a release on this
story for the Scnpps-McRae League papers, a list
of which I append to this letter.
In using the story it would be run as one of our
novels-a-week and would therefore have to be cut
to about 20.000 words. For this privilege I would
be willing to pay $200.00. Of course we advertise
each story widely before publication.
Hoping to hear from you favorably, and at your
earliest convenience, I am,
Vejy truly
"*S, Fiction Editor. /
