LIVIDONIA PORTO SANTO STEFANO (GROSSETO) ITALY December 20th, 1929

My dear Mrs. Fuller:-

Thank you for your note of November 27th. Mr. Doubleday and his sales manager, Mr. Long- well, came to see me the night I sailed and outlined their very elaborate selling campaign for ARUNDEL. Longwell seemed to want the bibliography of the book, and I told him he could get most of it by writing you and having you copy the partial list that appears toward the end of the manuscript. I had originally in- tended to append a bibliography on the book's final page; but I finally decided that it would detract somewhat from the fictional aspect of it. Consequently I didn't bother to put down a lot of the reference books I used. You got so me for me, for example, which I took notes from, etc., without copying the titles, wuthors and publishers. At any rate, if Logwell write you, please let him have what he wants. I also insisted that in the event of a Canadian edition, they should use a sketch made from my map of old Quebec; and it may be that they will want to borrow it for a while, in which case let them have it. THE LIVELY LADY is leaping along at the rate of 2000 words a day; and at the present writing she looks very good and very lively indeed. General Dawes got me the complete Dartmoor records on the crew of the Arundel privateer Mc- Donough, of which my great grandfather was Sailing Master. In another year I shall be able to give you another large mass of Maine material. I thank you for your wishes for a delightful winter. If you call it delightful to look yourself up in a room for five months, Sundays and Saints; Days included, emerg- ing only for meals and to scream in foul Italian for some-
