FG NUMBER FIVE BANK STREET3 Dear Mr. Greenslet1:

Please send a copy of "Song of the Lark"4 with my compliments to Ruth St. Denis5 600 St Paul St Los Angeles6 Calif.

I've just had a love letter from her about "The Diamond Mine.7 I don't know her, but she says she's "been some Silver Mine" herself and knows all about it.

Hastily W. S. C.

P.S. I've just had two very large offers8 from N.Y. magazines for 13,000 word stories. What about book publication of three or four of them? Had you rather I arranged that elsewhere?
