Spending time at the Christian Science White Mountains Camp in Tamworth, New Hampshire, it was there that he wrote "The Eye of Zeitun"; it included the four protagonists who had appeared in "The Ivory Trail" experiencing a new adventure in Armenia, and reflected Turkish persecution of the Armenian people. It was serialised in "Romance" from February to March 1920 before being published by Bobbs-Merrill in March under the altered title of "The Eyes of Zeitoon". The book received mixed reviews and did not sell well. Although pleased with the work of his agent Paul Reynolds, he switched to Howard Wheeler, with whom he felt more comfortable.
