COLLECTED SHORT STORIES • V
Sincerely your friend,W. S. P.
[And here is the letter telling his “pard” that the article had
been bought by Everybody’s Magazine. This is dated Pittsburg,
October 24th, obviously the same year:]
Dear Pard:
You’re It. I always told you you were a genius. All you need
is to succeed in order to make a success.
rs
I enclose pub
letter which explains itself. When you see
your baby in print don’t blame me if you fi nd strange ear marks
and brands on it. I slashed It and cut It and added lots of stuff
that never happened, but I followed your facts and ideas, and
that is what made It valuable. I’ll think up some other idea for
an article and we’ll collaborate again some time – eh?
I have all the work I can do, and am selling It right along.
Have averaged about $150 per month since August 1st. And
yet I don’t overwork – don’t think I ever will. I commence
about 9 a. m. and generally knock off about 4 or 5 p. m.
As soon as check mentioned in letter comes I’ll send you
your “sheer” of the boodle.
By the way, please keep my nom de plume strictly to yourself. I don’t want any one to know, just yet.
Give my big regards to Billy. Reason with him and try to
convince him that we believe him to be pure merino and of
more than average width. With the kindest remembrances to
yourself I remain,
Your friend,W. S. P.

lucky to sell a story at any price.]
