Letter from L. L. Rai to E. R. A. Seligman (November 30, 1917)

Lala Lajpat Rai, "England's Debt to India," Longmans, Green & Co (publishing company)

Rai writes to Seligman that he has "not tried Longman's and will appreciate your writing me a letter." He also tells the professor that his "England's Debt to India" is out and that by "tomorrow morning" he is "hoping to have a copy left at your office at Columbia." In the postscript, Rai tells Seligman:

I do not think Longmans Green & 
Co. will accept this book. They 
told me once that the London 
Head Office deals all such 
books relating to India. They know 
me, as they (ie the London house) 
published my book "Arya 
Samaj," but they published it 
at my expense. I am certain I 
could find a publisher in London 
but this is a book written for 
the Americans and I want it to be 
published in this ccountry. 
                        L. Rai
