Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Dennis WHEATLEY
(1897-1977, Novelist) thanking him for his letter “Hutchinson’s sent the MS back less than a week ago, without even a covering letter, having scribbled all over it in pencil (though I suspect that covering letter was merely omitted in error, for there was a functionless clip on the cover. If you think another publisher would ‘bite’ at the MS as it is, it would be angelic of you to try it on them. I am too bored with it now to tinker with it any more & should simply like to get of out & off my chest. The Express are now of their own accord toying with the idea of bringing out a book of reprinted Hickey. This might of course include the New York section, but in some ways I would rather an ordinary publisher did it; they might pay me a £ or two and would probably print it better...”, 2 sides 4to., Renishaw Hall, Derbyshire headed paper with a fine vignette at the head, Sunday, no date together with a carbon copy of Wheatley’s reply apologising for his late reply as “the Voroshilov book ran out to 120,000 words - nearly double the length that I originally intended,... If you will send me your M.S. I will try it on other publishers with pleasure. Collins, Arthur Barker, Harrap, Robert Hale, Michael Joseph, Chatto, Iver Nicholson are the ones I know best. Who would you prefer me to try it on Arthur Barker is a good man and likes things that are a bit out of the ordinary...”, 1 side A4, no place, 19th August
