Individual agreement with the author is immaterial. I am
writing your people today for 100 copies and think that I
shall enjoy the selling of them. It is much easier to sell
"Daddy Longlegs" or even "The Power House" but there is a
certain satisfaction in selling something of value.

I trust that you will pardon any liberty I may have taken.
Although you say "no character in your book is to be taken
literally" in the figure of Carey one is at once reminded of
Cecil Rhodes.

[middle of page] I am, Sir,

[middle of page] Yours faithfully,

[signature] C.E. Brumwell

[handwritten] I am asking Messrs T. Nelsons to forward this. Although I know that
you are doing staffwork, I do not know your address.
