I send herewith 2 magazine articles.

The Story contains 3,800 to 4,000 words.

The “Diary” contains 3,800 words.

Each would make about 4 pages of the Century.

The Diary is a gem, if I do say it myself that shouldn't.

If the Cosmopolitan wishes to pay $600 for either of them or $1,200 for

both, gather in the check, and I will use the money in America instead

of breaking into your treasury.

If they don't wish to trade for either, send the articles to the

Century, without naming a price, and if their check isn't large enough I

will call and abuse them when I come.
