Sir In the London letter OF your issue OF May IL
I find the statement by your London correspond
ent that Mr. Joseph Hatton contradlcs our published
notice to the effect that "By order OF the Car Is TO
be published in Lovels international Series, under
Mr.. Hatton's authorization Permit me TO quote from
letter written by the American representative OF MI
Hatons agents, Mcssrs. Tillotson g. Son, TO John W.

between head Office and the author.
The almost nvariabe rule in the publication OF Eng
h novels in our International Series IS for the Eng
lish agent OF the John W. Lowell Co. to arrange
directly with the authors either royalty basis or
by outright purchase. In this case, however. the
arrangement was made by me with Mr.. Hattons
agents. had purchased the book before 1t was
completed and before the name had been decided
upon. The book was simply known as a novel by
Joseph Hatton, which was to begin In september
and 10 run serialy In twcnty-six weekly instruments.
OF course you will understand how seriously the
statement by your London correspondent can affect
our standing with those authors who not knowing inc
policy OF the John W. Lowell Co., might ne approacieu
by our London agent.
/ certainy trust that yOu will make the correction
due and shall write letter to Mr.. Hatt0n explaining
the matter and requesting that he also give to the
public a correct statement in regard TO the arrange

London correspondent. Yours vepy truly,
