Dear Sir:-

We regret to say that we have no copies of the 1907 edition of "The Hill Of Dreams". The only way in which you can get a copy of this book with our title page, is to have some book seller advertise for it.

I believe Dana Estes brought out an edition of "The Hill of Dreams" some time before we did.

Messrs. E.P. Dutton & Company,
(Mr. Grant).

Dear Mr. Grant,

"PRECIOUS BALMS".

We expect to publish this book within the next ten
days.

Mr. Vincent Starrett,

Chicago, Ill.

February Seventeen
Nineteen Nineteen.

Dear Mr. Starrett:—

I have been out of town, just returned, and about to leave again immediately for several weeks. I am certainly sorry to hear of the situation you speak of in your letter but I don't honestly know of a thing that we can do. "The Terror" doesn't sell (our total sale has been less than 1,000, between you and me) and I think the only thing that would do him any good would be for him to turn out pot boilers for the popular magazines. You know that books do not make any money for the author, unless they happen to become best sellers.

As you know, I had thought of reprinting "The House of Souls" and "The Hill of Dreams" but their status is so uncertain and it would be so simple a matter to pirate them, if we did get them going, that I have held off on that account. I believe "The House of Souls" is owned by Grant Richards and this is a volume which would stand more chance of selling than the other. The only other possibility is "The Hand of Glory" and as you must realize yourself that is impossible from the standpoint of the commercial publisher.

I am mighty sorry and remain,

For ROBERT M. McBRIDE & CO.
