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.

Dear Comrade London: Your letter of March 4 is received and as I certainly do not want to get you into trouble with the Macnillan Company, I will drop the idea of the little volume for the present. What I cared most to include in it was simply "The Dream of Debs", which I think was not copyrighted except.in the Review and "The Apostate", which was published by the Appeal without copyrighting at all. We might publish each of these later on in pamphlet form if agreeable to you. '""" The trouble with our publishing "Human Drift" is that one really needs to have a liberal education before he can enjoy it while the others appeal to the ordinary wage-i7orker. I have had an occasional call for a booklet of yours entitled n<T,he Tramp" but do not remember to have seen a copy for a long time. 13 it one that you would like to have circulated by the Socialist locals? If you ever have occasion to say anything that is too warm for the other magazines, remember the Review. 7Te are growing but are not yet able to pay anything like the prlcea for articles which the big capitalist magazines offer.

ISBISTER & CO., LIMITED, PuoIIshers. 15 & 16, TAVISTOCK STREET, GOOD WORD8. COVENT GARDEN, SUNDAY MAGAZINE. London, w.c. H. PERRY ROBINSON, Managing Dirbotor. May 6th //^ 3 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. Mr. Jack London Piedmont, Alameda Co. Calif crnla.
