2 or 3 A. M., depending on how long I could keep awake.

Aug. 1—Finished chapted 63, and Doubleday began to set the first 62 chapters. Sept.4—Sent Doubleday the last 120 mss. pages. Sept. 18-21—To Ticonderoga to check up. Sept. 22—Started revising page proofs. Oct. 7—Finished the proofs. Broke and almost dead. This is but a brief glimpse of the two years of work that went into the writing of "Rabble inArms" after several years of research. Roberts gives an account of his work on Arundel in "The Truth About a Novel," an essay in his collection, For Authors Only.

NEW VOLUME COMING

In Italy Roberts will finish the novel on which he is now working. It deals with another phase of our country's early history. While doing his research for the book Mr. Roberts unearthed valuable historical material hitherto believed by historians not to exist. This will be published in an appendix volume to accompany a special edition of the new book. Never before has a novelist uncovered so many new historical facts that he was obliged, on the advice of historians, to publish these facts in an appendix simultaneously with his novel in order to protect himself from the charge of distorting history and misrepresenting the motives of his characters.
