The contracts you have made are beyond praise. If we had had such on those other books I would have come out a good deal better.
The project of a 20 or 25-cent book has been now so much delayed that I am in a serious quandary about it. Let us dispose of the question straight off. Suppose you just give one solid day to catching that American News manager; & if you fail to collar him, tell me so, & I will drop the idea out of my program & send the bicycle article to the Sun.
