[Mr. Green (1885-1943), author and President of Duffield & Company, publishers, wrote to Gandhiji on April 13, 1926, referring to a cable he sent earlier and enquiring if he would permit them the privilege of reading his autobiography with a view to book publication in America. He said that Dr. John Haynes Holmes was a friend of his family and could inform him of the standing of the company.60]

Dear friend,
I have your letter of the 13 April last. I believe I had a prepaid cable from
Paris to which I sent a reply. I cannot recall any prepaid cable from you from
New York.
I would have gladly lent you a copy of my autobiography if I had it. But
chapters are written from week to week. What has been written has already
been published. If you do not subscribe to Young
India you can get a loan of it from Dr. Holmes. What should be done when the
whole of the autobiography is written for its publication in book form has not
yet been decided. Dr. Holmes, I understand, is in correspondence with the
Macmillans.
Yours sincerely,
Horace Green, Esq.
President
Duffield & Company
