Madam,

Could you sell us the serial rights for publication in our paper only, of your book "Summer", and at which price?

We trust, that you will consider, that our country is only
a very small one with a population and circulation of only about 1/10
of what you are used in England, not even reckoning that you get a
market abroad besides, and we don't. The translation will be a very
first class one and would be an attraction for a book-publisher later
on, to publish the novel in bookform.

awaiting your answer, we remain,

We pay as a rule £ 5,.-, for the serial rights.

Madam,

Could you sell us the serial right for publication in our
paper only of your book "BUMMER", edited by Messrs. Macmillan & Co.

subject last year but we never received any reply from you.

Looking forward to your answer, we remain,
