O.K. to everything in your letter. I had a long talk with Fanny Butcher3 about the title, and am again shaken—not as to the rightness of Claude, but as to the wisdom of using it. She begs and implores me not to!
Now, I will be quite satisfied with "One of Ours"4 "One
of Ours," if you like it. It has merits; it is has
plenty of "O"s, is euphonious and mystifying—and it is "easy to say."
Please let me hear from you as soon as you have ABSOLUTELY FIRE PROOF

HASTINGS, NEB. read the manuscript, as I am very
eager to know how it strikes you when you read it altogether—the relation of
one part to another and the corresponding changes in tempo were the things I was
most interested in throughout this story, and I have never regarded them at
all in any book I've done hitherto. I can say without
boasting that the French part of the
story5 took more self control and more kinds
of skill than - - well, than most things that are written now-a-days. And the tone
does not break once! I do not once "show off" or write ABSOLUTELY FIRE PROOF
