Duneka in New York City, approving plans for a German translation of his History of the American People, mentioning that he is now to busy to continue work on a collection of essays, and outlining difficulties in the preparation of a “school” version of his History, noting that a previous contract with the American Book Company “threw the whole thing out of joint, inasmuch I would not for any consideration write a book for the American Book Company.” A few minor wrinkles and mild smudges to sheets, otherwise fine condition. LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
