Excerpt from Exploits of Asap Khan
You know the north-west Frontier, and it has struck me that you might be persuaded to write a foreword giving the book a send-off, that is, of course, if you like it.
I have not yet discussed terms with the author's agent, and before doing so I wondered if you would glance over the manuscript and let me know what you think.

Excerpt from Exploits of Asap Khan
There are times in the life of a publisher when the tragedy of being a publisher is relieved to some extent by a manuscript that causes him to take off his telephone-receivers - to the detriment of his business and the relief of his staff.
In my room are two telephones and two doors, each with a key upon the inside. Such precautions are as necessary to a publisher as a second means of entry - or egress.
After reading a few pages of the manuscript of the "Exploits of Asaf Khan," I removed the telephone-receivers and locked both doors - I desired to be alone.
Having finished the manuscript, I rang up the literary agent from whom I had received it, and inquired if I were the first to whom it had been submitted. I was curious to account for its travel-stained appearance.
I was the ninth! Eight times had the "Exploits of Asaf Khan" been weighed and found wanting.
