Letter to Walsh from Stokes expressing satisfaction that he is writing another novel. He believes that if Green Rushes had been a novel, it would have sold 20,000 copies but ‘the American market is very adverse to collections of stories’. One dealer returned seventy-five of the one hundred copies when he received them. The Romantic Adventurers has sold over 3000 copies and he has suggested to ‘Miss Baumgarten’ (of Brandt and Brandt) that they ‘bring out another omnibus this fall, tentatively entitled Three Roads: Great Novels of Courage, Adventure and Romance.'

Letter to Walsh from Edward R. Cross (chairman and managing director), Cross-Courtney Limited (advertising, printing, publishing), 1 Brazenose Street, Manchester. States his admiration of Walsh’s works and asks if he would consider involvement in the production of a film on the Lake District of England. The proposal arises following his appointment as a ‘consultant to the Cumberland Area for the Cumberland Development Council’. He has been in contact with Mark Ostrer, head of the Gaumont British Film Company, and has mentioned Walsh as the ‘one man in the world who could do the scenario justice’. He could either adapt one of his stories or else write a completely new one. Cross can arrange a meeting between Walsh and Ostrer and Walsh and Mr. St. Clare Grondona, the government’s Cumberland Commissioner who is also aware of the plan.
