Mr. William jarewster, 
Cambridge, Massachusetts. 
Dear Mr. Brewster: 
Several years ago, soon after I had printed in Forest and 
Stream a story abstracted from Garrard’s "Wah-To-Yah*, you wrote 
me asking whether the book could be had, I think I told you than 
that it was becoming scarce, and as then worth $10 or $12, You 
told me you would be willing to pay that for the book, 
I have had some secondhand book dealers on the watch for 
the volume, but have almost never heard of it. To-day, however, 
.tv, 
I get a card from the Cadmus Book Shop, 150 West 54th Street, New 
York, saying that they can supply a copy at $22,50, This is so 
high a price that Ido not feel that I coulo afford to pay it, my¬ 
self, and t certainly would not pay it for anyone else without a 
distinct authorization. Ido not suppose you wish the book at 
that price, but I suppose it can be had if you want it. 
Twenty or twenty-five years ago the book was often offered 
for sale at $2 or $3, It is a small, cloth-bound volume, to which 
no one would give a second thought, but for some reason or other it 
has become very desirable. 
Yours sincerely,
