Description

"They want a Jeeves series, which is going to tax me to the uttermost"

TLS, one page, 8 x 10, Rogate Lodge letterhead, April 6, 1929. Letter to Miss Harris, in part: "My new Mulliner book comes out on this side quite soon, but I have an idea it won't be published in America till next year, as my new novel, Summer Lightning, is to come out in America in July. By the way, I find I shall have to change the title, as somebody else has used it. It's an awful nuisance, as I can't think of anything else. It is running now in Collier's. I have just started doing my new series for the Cosmopolitan. I sent them a Jeeves story last week. They want a Jeeves series, which is going to tax me to the uttermost, as Bertie would say. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't know Warwick Deeping or P. C. Wren. I like their stuff, though." In very good to fine condition, with creasing, light toning, and intersecting folds.
