Letter 2.
Richmond, Virginia | [November, 1897]
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
I have just received a letter from Harper, stating that "since Mr. Paul R. Reynolds has already begun negotiations for the publication of the work in England, we think it better, under the circumstances, not to interfere with his arrangements."
So you see the book must be placed with an English publisher. Furthermore, since they intend to bring it out immediately, it must be copyrighted before they do so.
181
As you know I am perfectly willing to accept the lowest terms, but it must be brought out as soon as possible—or, at least, placed in ms.
Harper has the Canadian rights.
The thought that I may not secure English publication is worrying me very much.
Very sincerely yours,
Ellen Glasgow
Heinemann first and then Sampson, Low & Co; and what about
John Lane or Dent? However, left to you, I am sure it will be all right. I
told you my arguments would convince Harper.[1]
E. G.
