| Abstract: | Burgess asks if Russell has done anything with the dime novel cuts yet, and if he hasn't to send Burgess the proofs and "I will write a bloodthirsty, impossible Munchausen sort of romance using them profusely" to make an amusing book. He requests a $100 advance on 10% royalties and prophesies that whether it does well or not, it will be a "ripping good" read. He is currently working on a book of modern fairy tales called "Lively City" which might be syndicated by McClure's but if not, he offers the recipient the rights. He also asks for a statement about "Enfant Terible" regarding his current work. |
