Dear Clara,

 

I enclose the MS of a book which we shall publish in June or at the end of May and which is, I think, very good. I suggest that you try to sell the serial rights to the Century Magazine or Hearst's Magazine and the book rights to a publisher. Would you tell Huebach about it first and see if he would take it.

 

What happened about Seltzer and the Tolstoi Love Letters. He gets a MS [Manuscript] into his possession and then sits on it. If you are still dealing with him would you say that he is still in possession of the MS[Manuscript] of the Dostoevsky book and make him either give you an offer for it or return the MS[Manuscript].

 

Yours | Leonard Woolf [signature]
