Doporior*1 Leonard.
'Cassell's Weekly' has accepted three thousand words of the*2 Goldenveiser book at £7 per 1000 words to be published in two numbers of the Weekly immediately. I am thinking of showing the M[anuscript]S to the Mercury.
As the agreement re the [author self-correction] Goldenveiser book differs from the arrangement we had to come to previously, and as you are away, I thought I might as well let the matter rest until you return.
I wonder if you heard anything from America with regard to the Gold[enveiser]. book What a pity that just at the time when some money could be made for the translation in America, you are away. I regret now not having asked you to let me deal with the M[anuscript]S in America during your absence. I am almost certain that the Century would have taken it, and they pay very well.
What are the terms of your agreement when Seltzer regarding the Bunin stories? I have been asked by the Dial to allow them to republish 'The Gentleman from St Francisco ' in a collection of stories published by in the Dial for the last few years. I wonder if the terms of the Seltzer agreement permit this.
