[1930] Unsigned draft of a letter to [William Charles ?] Lengel, in pencil on orange paper with revisions, written in the hand of Elizabeth Trotter, probably from dictation by Booth Tarkington, saying "Herewith I am sending you the third of the stories, which was well toward completion before I went to S.H. Recalling that "Penrod" had appeared in the Post & Everybody before it moved to the Cosmopolitan, years ago, I hadn't realized that the latter might prefer, with the changing times, not to have "Mr. M" move in with his special baggage, ie. this third story is a 'Massey' one, having got so far along before your hint of preference was received." He assures him that the next three do not have Massey as a character and the fourth "Cider of Normandy" has an "American in Paris background."
