Materials Specific Details
Douglas is sending a copy of [How About] Europe? [Some Footnotes on East and West] to Sachs, saying that Mother India inspired him to write it. Douglas is glad to hear of the abortive piracy of [Some] Limericks. He has seen the Paris edition and thinks it is not too bad. He had no idea that the Argus Book Shop Edition of South Wind was in print since they have not sent him a copy. He supposes they want him to buy one, and thinks it could have been done better. Charles Cullen has done illustrations for In the Beginning that Douglas thinks are remarkable. However, he doesn't think the publisher will risk the expense of an illustrated version.
