Scope and Content Information

This collection contains one letter, ALS, dated [1873] Jul 2, Joaquin Miller, Museum Street, Oxford, to "My Dear Mr. [Clovelen ?]. He asks him to call upon him and discusses his books, "I have delayed publishing ["Indians" ?] in America for many reasons. In the first place I am not altogether pleased with the book - it needs boiling down, but I have been too busy with my Modoc (his prose autobiography Life Among the Modocs, published in London by Richard Bentley & Son) book to do anything with it lately. Again, I do not feel under any great obligations to America. For my other book I got abuse - and [?] little besides abuse. I do not care to repeat that. The miserable ten per cent of American publishers means starvation. " He also mentions that a revised edition of his previous work may be published in London.
