Discusses his reply to publishers, Walter Scott Publishing Company, on the failure to uphold the agreement in the decade since the edition of The Evolution of Sex was published, and a denial of Frederick J. Crowest's claim of leftover stock as reason for not paying royalties. Expresses his desire to 'get away from this firm altogether'.
