Dear Sir,

I have twice applied to Mr. Grant Richards for a decision regarding your novel, without success. He now telephones to say that although he does not doubt my word when I say I am acting on your behalf, he would like to have a confirmation of this from you. Perhaps you will be good enough to write to Mr. Grant Richards telling him that you have placed your affairs in my hands?[1]
