Mr. Block writes to Mr. Markham because he doesn't his telegram about the newspaper blunders. He would like to talk to him about it, before he speaks to Mr. Hearst. The announcement, in McClure's magazine, said that either McClure or Doubleday were publishing a book by Mr. Markham. The books was entitled "The Sower, and other poems". He hasn't seen a copy of the book yet. If it is the same poem, then the book would appear before they could change their Thanksgiving issue.Also if it is the same poem, then we could ask the publisher to hold back the book until we printed the poem first. If this was impossible for them, then they would not be able to print it because it came out in book form.He says that the Christmas poem is only worth $60.00 and should be shorter. He also would like Mr. Markham to write a poem for the new century issue. He suggest that could be one about prophecy of the conditions that will exist in the year 2000. also like to meet with him this week.
