W. A. WILDE COMPANY, PUBLISHERS OF THE PELOUBET SERIES, 110 Boylston Street. Boston, JUly 13/00 189 Dear Sir:- It
has been suggested to us that we take the liberty off writing you with the hopes that it may result in mutual benefit to us
both at some later period. For some twelve years we have been publishing for young people from about the age of 16 to 22,
literature which should be both helpful and instructive, interesting enough to be included both in school libraries and to
find its place on the shelves of our public libraries. We have made every effort to maintain a high standard along this line.
Herewith, enclosed, find our catalogue, and I think the names of the authors themselves will show you that our list of books
is A. No. I. You have been suggested to us as one who would be likely to write us a story of western life which would meet
all these requirementa We should be very much pleased if you would give this subject some thought and let us know how you
feel concerning it. We have always borne the reputation of being just towards our authors, making their interest and our
own one. Trusting that we may hear from you favorably,we beg to remain Most sincerely yours, Mr. John Muir illegible
