Glad the book is selling fairly well.
How did the Heinemann edition do? Is going to

Will finish the novel by
summer at the latest. It will be twice as long as O Pioneers! and more interesting. How about calling it The Song of the Lark?

Making record progress on the book. Not going to New York until
February 1. Hopes he can indeed stop the war while he is in England!

Street, New York
; Harvard
Is sending most of the novel.
About 20,000 words yet to write. Believes it is very good. Feels envious of Doubleday's sales methods. Houghton Mifflin ought to push this book
more than they did O Pioneers! Parts of
the story are drawn from her early years, including the death of the railroad man, which
happened when she was about thirteen. Story is full of the West. Has hit it with this one!

Will change "billiards" to "pool" and refrain from making Dr. Archie governor. Sorry he objects to the diminishing
scale of the book, but that was her plan, to emphasize Thea's youth. Hopes he can come see her this weekend. Can't phone;
has no telephone.

Only the epilogue in Moonstone yet to do. Please return all the "ten years later" part if he
wants Archie rewritten.
