Dear Jack -

    I hope that by now you have placed and underlined: sold a few copies.  Presume that you received the ones we sent you.
    If you have the time and a copy of the book I would very much appreciate the following lead: -
    Mr. H. A. Belt
    ℅ Fred Harvey
    1701 Railway Exchange Bldg.,
    Chicago, Ill.

He is buyer for all the books placed in the Fred H. book shops around the country. I talked to Mr. Landenbacher and Mr. Ryan here and they seemed enthusiastic but said that the buying of bound books was entirely up to the Chicago Office.

     I impressed  upon them, the fact that it was a slender volume, easy to carry on the train and of much more profit than pocket ? in so
