English edition dispute over Mme de Coulevain novel Sur-la-Branche

The letters debate whether the Paris novel Sur-la-Branche was published in English in the United States. Ambrose Lee argues a short translated pamphlet was issued by Knickerbocker Press to secure copyright, not the full novel, with few copies sold. The piece notes involvement of Calmann Levy, Knickerbocker Press, and Putnam's Sons, plus archival errors in the United States Catalogue.
