I think I ought to send this letter3 to you before I send it to Isabelle4, because you saw5 my Professor6 in his early stages and took such a tender interest in him. Now you will know where and when to look for it. I could not sell it to a monthly, as they could not use it fast enough to eat it all up before the book date, Sept. 1st. The first editor7 my agent8 sent it to bought it witnin a few hours after it was sent to him, as you see. He paid ten thousand dollars for the serial rights, of which one thousand goes to my agent as commission, and nine to me. The price is confidential between you and Mr. Wise9 and me. If ones family knows about one's prices, they expect one to do such absurd things. You know how it is,- they think it's such "easy money"! But I want you to know, because I know you like to hear of any good luck I have.
Dear Irene, do you think you could send me some of those tablets to wash ecru curtains by next Monday? I'm cleaning house for Virginia's10 coming for Easter vacation.
A world of love to you, dear. Willie Mrs. C. W. Weisz1 818 Lafayette Parkway Chicago11 Ill. NEW YORK, N.Y. STA. C2 MAR 16 1925 130 PM 10000
