Letter from S.R. Crockett to A.P. Watt (Alex)

LETTER

S.R. Crockett

Agrees Alex should decide all Hodder Williams sixpenny offers and such matters; requests notification of any new stories booked; reports rotten fortnight unable to work or settle, suffering pain, doped by doctors; seeing daylight now but grey matter needs rest; lists prodigious output since January 1913 (10 months): The Tattler of Scarlet, Silver Sand, Hal of the Ironsides (all full-sized books) plus short stories and six of Peter the Renegade; many things simmering but cannot fix on subject until better; reminds that Hodder Williams promised when postponing The Tattler to autumn to pay for it in spring (which he did) and for Silver Sand this autumn; Anderson depending on that promise; believes Hal of the Ironsides will prompt new commission
