I think4 you did very well by me to persuade Heinemann5 to publish even a small edition6, and I am grateful to you for putting it through. You must be home by this time. I have been expecting a telephone message from you, but perhaps you did not come home through New York.2
I am awaiting a statement from Houghton Mifflin, which is due at about this
time. I have been a good deal prodded from two quarters about the sera serial rights of my next book7 – which I shall simply call "Claude8", by the way – but as in
both cases that would also mean the book publication afterward, I am not
binding myself to anything. I shall not do anything definite until I have
the story furthur along and have had a talk with you, probably not until the early
fall, as I shall be leaving town soon. I have recently sold two short stories9 for good prices10. Please let me know
if you are back in Boston11. I have
just completed two
articles12 for John S.
Phillips13 and his Red
Cross Magazine14, but I did not hear from Mr. Siddal15, and I am glad I did not, thank
you!
Please have one copy "Antonia6" mailed to Mrs. Eugenie Macpherson16, 115 west 11th street, New York, and charge to me.
