Heyer, Georgette, 1902-1974

"I send you herewith Friday's Child, complete with a suitable inscription. Will you inform Heinmann that I now have 16 copies, and propose to hang on to them?..."

"Alas, why must you select the one wholly unprobably day? I'm sorry, but I'm meeting Richard at Reading on Thursday the 27th, and taking him to stay with Joanna. I might not even get back here that day at all..."

"A hurried line on the eve of departure to let you know that I took a fancy to the dramatist. He's a [?]. I think he know his [?] too..."

"This has turned up. Will you see to it for me? I don't know who Alfred Farell is, do you? Did you arrive at anything with Margery Vosper[?]? Now what do you think about this new proposition?..."

"You have certainly handed me a headache, and I find it terribly hard to reach any sort of a decision. It is, to start with, our understanding that if I go into a deal with Glemson[?] I don't sell the title rights with it..."

"In all the excitement about O[?] Felins, I forgot to tell you about the R.K.O. affair. The situation at present is that Wendy Scott has mashed the chairman (the man with the money, apparently)..."

"I return some accounts, which I suppose you want, and which mean nothing to me anyways. All right, if you will be Edwardian! Thank you, will lunch with you on the 26th. What time?..."

"Heinmann printed 50,000 copies of Friday's Child, in all. Louia Cal[?] writes that the last copy was sold this week..."

"I suppose it is quite absurd of me to be roused to reply to your last letter, but really I do think it calls for commitment! If it is progressive to carry on a literary agency at a distance from London I have certainly learnt something new..."

"Many thanks for the cheque. I return the Longman account, herewith. At the moment, having seen the list of the new m[?] I feel more in need of a basin than of lunch, but I may be amended by next Wednesday! Yes, thank you- and where?..."
