"The Great Willoughby Claim be-
gins with the scene laid in small aris-
tocratic southern town. Then it shifts
to the mountains of North Carolina, a
mining region. Then it goes on to q
fashionable southern resort, some such
place Of which the White Sulphur is
typical in America. From there the
story goes to a manufacturing town,
some such New England town as Spring
field or Hartford, and from there to a
small village. Then comes Washington.
You see, am really interested in
this, what I now look upon as my
greatest work and what hope to make
the great American novel. This is the

plish while in London. I shall remain
