I think he got more real enjoyment out
of this story than any he has previously done. It is a story of the
out-of-doors in this great unfenced land where a man must be a man. I
suppose, too, he enjoyed writing this work so much, partly, because it
comes so easy for him to just tell a story without the intervention of
some nerve racking problem. The only book he has heretofore written that
is purely a story is "The Shepherd of the Hills," and I sometimes wonder
to what proportion of his readers does this Ozark story hold first
place. For all such, I am sure, "When a Man's a Man" will find a
reception of special heartiness because it is just a fine, big,
wholesome novel of simple sweetness and virile strength.
I have written this sketch of Harold Bell Wright that you may know him
as intimately, if possible, as if you had met him in person. But should
you have the opportunity of making his acquaintance do not deny yourself
the pleasure. If you are a lover of his books I am sure you are just the
kind of person that the author himself delights to meet.
"Relay Heights," February 15, 1916.
