Mr. Reynolds No 70 5th Av.
Letter 9.
Richmond, Virginia | [February, 1898]
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
Of course I am greatly pleased that Mr. Heinemann will publish the
book and I accept his terms, with thanks. I much prefer the
royalty and agree with you that it will probably prove better in the long
run. Please write Mr. Heinemann that I accept the 15% royalty. The
Canadian rights belong to Harper, as I have signed a contract to that effect.
I think Mr. Heinemann is incorrect in supposing that Harper intends to
publish the book in the autumn. My impression is that they wish to bring
it out at once. I have already corrected the proof of about one fourth of the
book and they are sending them rapidly. I have written to them for a double
set. Yes, please confer with them in regard to the copyrighting, etc.
Indeed, I think I am very much to be congratulated upon the placing
of the book, and I feel very heartily that I owe it entirely to your
management of my affairs. I wish to thank you again for the trouble you
have taken. Of course all the business transactions between Mr. Heinemann
and myself will take place through you, and you will deduct your
commissions when it reaches you. Please return the manuscript and I will
send the proofs as soon as I secure them.
Believe me,
Very sincerely,
Ellen Glasgow
Kindly send me Mr. Heinemann's London address. I wish to answer
his letter.
