I write for some of the American papers, which insist on having current gossip, amusing stories, oto, about well-known people over here, and I bay large quantities of such letters regularly. If you think you would care to doablo or treble your salary in this way write me a good specimen letter for me to mee what you can do and I will then write more fully as to terms. To give you an idea of what I buy, I may say that just now anything about Lady Gerard and the De Forests is "good copy
