ARTHUR W. UPFIELD

Publication: Bonaparte Holdings, Arthur W Upfield, 1959, Bowral, N S W, Australia

An eight paragraph typed letter dated 31st January, 1959, by author Upfield on Bonaparte Holdings stationery to Miss Catherine Barth of "The Mystery Writers of America, Inc." in NYC. The letterhead contains both the office and Upfield's private address.

Essentially Upfield is asking Catherine Barth about film and television deals as Australian television producers want him to grant TV rights on many of his Napoleon Bonaparte books in order to produce a series on Bonaparte. He states that his London agents and London publishers advise him against parting with the TV rights. He asks how U. S. producers would view this opportunity and would appreciate information by airmail service and "backed by expert opinion." He closes by talking about his forthcoming Bony adventure and expected publication dates in the U. S. A. and London. Signed "Arthur W. Upfield." Old fold creases else fine.
