Summary
Concerning McWilliams's biography of Ambrose Bierce, which has recieved positive reviews but has experienced, as expected, sales "far below its deserts"; his confusion over the situtaion with author Vincent O'Sullivan who was previously referred to Boni by McWilliams ("he speaks of you as someone he does not know, and says that he never asked you to secure a publisher for his manuscript"), and noting that he has not yet received from him the manuscript in question; thanking him for the all that he has done for the James Truslow Adams book and for his recommendations to various authors.
