lily dear London,
I have your letter and this is only a "brief
line of acknowledgement.
The "People of the Abyss", as you know, has
"been published, and copies of it will have reached you before
this letter, I think there is nothing you will object'to
in the alterations, or elisions, which I have cade; in fact, I
do not think you will notic© them. The book is getting a lot
of notoriety, sons of it favourable, and some otherwise, but in
what is generally acknowledged to be the worst publishing season
that we have had in England for many years, I have great hopes
of its being a big success. It promises that way at the start.
The "Xcnpton wace Letters" has dragged very
slowly at first, but is showing more activity during this last
woek or two, and I think the outlook for it also is fairly
promising*
I am asking our Publicity Department to ssnd
you some reviews which you may not have coon.
Yours very s Sneer elyy

My dear London,
I am indeed very sorry to hear of your accident ,
although I hope that "by thetime this letter reaches you you
will have "begun to forget it.
You are correct in the matter of royalties and
I have written to the Macraillan Company saying that it is my
error, my letter having been written without reference to
documents on the subject. I have also informed Macmillan's
that we will put the "Kempton Y/ace Letters" in hand at once.
As for the long term Agreement which I suggested,
this was only to show my spirit and attitude towards you. So
long as you and I deal directly I think there will be no
difficulty whatever "but as soon as we get a third party between
us ©id especially a third party which, however upright, has none
the less an interest in placing your books elsewhere than with
us, there is always danger of trouble.
HThe Call of the Xlild- I think very good and
hope we can arrange to tetce It.

TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS! LONDON, W.C. -
"CONTEMPORARY, LONDON."
Office of MANAGING DIRECTOR,
_ „.. February 18 th, /00 2
Dear Sir,
Va have within the last few weeks put your book "The
God of His Fathers8 on the English market, having taken it from
Messrs UcClura, Phillips & Co. We have also bought the rights
in "The son of the Uolf" from the English house to whoa Messrs
Houghton, Mifflin & Co. had parted with the^E^-M-sh r4-gfrt-3. We
are now writing to say to you that (as we have already informed
Messrs Houghton, Mifflin & Co.) we shall hope to have whatever
future work you are putting out. We wish to express our
admiration of the power with which you write and it is our
intention to push your books strongly in England, believing that
they deserve success.
As a commercial mutter we believe it will be to your
advantage to see that your future books also come into our hands
on this side. Ue also hope that you will see soiae propriety in
continuing as far as possible your connection with the house
which is now preparing to gamble on your first work when it cm^t
be very much of an expertofrti with the English public. It may
perhaps be as well to explain that the undersigned has lived in
the United States for some 15 years* and is not unfamiliar with
mining life. Personal considerations have largely ewayed us in
our determination to take hold of your work in earnest, and to
do all that we can to make a success of it. ^part from that let
me say again that there is a very sincere admiration for the
quality of your writing.
with best wishes.
Yours wery sincerely,^
