Unidad documental simple 2 - Letter from James A. Decker to R. C. Trevelyan

1 typed letter with autograph signature

The Press of James A. Decker, Poetry Publishers, Prairie City, Illinois; send to Trevelyan care of "Horizon". - Received the November issue of "Horizon" today, containing Trevelyan's essay "Simple Pleasures"; this has given him 'more contentment in the reading' than anything else he has seen for months, and he would like to publish it in the United States. His Press has only published poetry, but he is 'anxious to make an exception' for the essay. Cannot offer 'outright payment', but suggests royalties of 25 percent on all sales; is thinking of a 'nicely-bound small book to sell for a dollar' for which sales might be 'very satisfactory', but is keen to publish 'just for the pleasure of setting' it. Will send the letter by air; if Trevelyan accepts the offer Decker can have the book ready quickly and send him as many copies as he likes, free of charge.
