Gave permission to friend to set song; assumed Unwin wouldn't object (heard him say never objected); sorry if absolute refusal, not for Boosey but for friend; doesn't interfere with agent re publishing; understands Unwin refused Bog Myrtle so Bliss and Sands got it; doesn't read criticism; received nearly four figures from Bog Myrtle sale (compares favourably); no American syndicate has command of books; Appleton's returns satisfactory; no reason Unwin shouldn't have future works; agent's province; most firms took serial rights first naturally leading to other rights; if Unwin civil to Watt, treats man to man like Smith Elder and Longmans, can have book offers; has Clash of Swords fighting stories volume for March 1897
