From the Desk of

DONALD FRIPPS, PUBLISHER

Mercury Books Inc

March 3, 1976

Dear Mr. Greenbriar,

''I write to inform you that, unfortunately, Mercury Books will be unable to publish your follow-up to The Accidental Pariah. Despite the low sales of The Accidental Saviour, we went ahead with the publication of the second book in hopes of the John Russell series "catching on." However, sales of the second book have in fact been lower than those of the first, and so our stewardship of the series must end here.''

It has been a pleasure working as your publisher, and we wish you, and John Russell, the best in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Donald Fripps

Publisher, Mercury Books Inc.
