LETTER

Creator

W.E. Gunn

Description

I write for Miss Crockett who is not yet allowed to write herself; She thanks you for your letter of 24th and is very pleased you have arranged matters satisfactorily regarding publication of Grey Man; She notes Messrs. Benn have not to receive any share of royalty and considers terms you have made with Mr. Marks (Quality Press) to be acceptable; She wonders whether owing to her illness, you will undertake (subject to usual commission of course) any further Literary Agency work with regard to her Father's works, and would be very glad if you can see your way again to do this, specially as she considers there is fresh demand for certain of his novels; She notes you will send her agreement with Mr. Marks (which you are preparing) for her signature, and she thanks you for your interest in matter
