32. 1925:
Rapid City, Man. January 7, 1925
Dear Phelps,
I'm in bed as you probably know from my
last notes. So it will have to be Feb. 9 if I am to come.
I seem to be quite sick, from the way this doctor talks.
I know I feel it.
Re your letter to the Ryerson people - that's all right.
By the way, Bony & Liveright asked for a MS. That lost
MS. turned up after I got home; so Mrs. Grove sent it to
them. I now have the final MS. in 1 more copy (from the Associated
Readers). Should Pierce want it, he can have that.
I'd be willing to guarantee sale of 600 copies within a
year by the way. Or, advance sale, let me say 200 copies
or 250. However.
By the way, Mrs. Grove, who unpacked my
suitcase, said that I had not brought the sketches home.
They are probably at your place? If so, they're safe. Some
of them are already copies.
Well, Mrs. Grove insists that I lie down again.
So ~
F.P.
