Letters of Anthony Hope Hawkins to editors [manuscript], 1896, 1897, 1915.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/420487257

Letters to S. S. Mclure, 1896 Jan 20 and 1897 Oct 5, responde to recent criticism in McClure's publication regarding English writers "forcing upon the public unworthy stories." Hawkins discusses the difficulty obtaining copyright in the United States as well as the relatively small prospective earnings from such a venture. He also notes the way in which many authors have little say about what of their work is "pitchforked onto the market," and cites the law as the primary reason McClure finds English contributions lacking. In addition he gives his approval to McClure's editorial notes, with one or two modifications, discusses a needed correction to one of the proofs and thanks McClure. In a letter, 1915 Jun 9, to W. Orton Tewson, Hawkins writes that he has received Tewson's telegram and thanks him for asking his opinion on Bryan's retirement (over the Lusitania crisis) and the questions it raises, but politely declines to offer his opinion as he is not sufficiently trained in such political affairs and does not believe it the place of Englishmen to judge the affairs of the American nation. He adds that he only writes this in response to Tewson's telegram, and not for publication.
