Letter 22.

One West Main Street | Richmond, Virginia |
December 7, 1899
My dear Mr. Reynolds:

It has become so natural for me to demand advice of you that I shall not even ask pardon for the trouble I may put you to. This is what one gets for being kind to such an ignorant thing as an author.

Will you let me (and this of course is confidential) [know] what you know of the present condition of the house of Harper & Brothers?

189

Page 189

I have been approached by another house upon the subject of my new book—the new publishers taking for granted that I shall not wish to continue with the present management, which, they maintain, is not Harper and Brothers at all, but merely a business conducted by a receiver to pay off his creditors, in which he may sell any of the books at any time.

As you know I like the Messrs. Harper—they have always been kind to my interests, and I do not wish to leave them unless it is true that the business is not really under their direction, or unless I might reap greater advantages for my book.

Will you write me what you think about it?

Very sincerely yours,

Ellen Glasgow
