# What does Sargent (1916, Ch. LXVI 'Editors and Others') say editors will and will not do for a writer and whom not to approach, how does this compare by ID with C3-B272-S84 and C3-B301-S106, and what agent check can be built from it (1916 practice, PROPOSAL)?

1916 practice. Sargent's claims in Ch. LXVI: editors buy, they do not teach by correspondence; asking why a script was returned is useless; a stamped envelope creates no obligation; answer a hint by acting on it, not by a letter; send to the manuscript department, not to a director, player or named editor; do not offer an editor a commission; there is no short cut and no writer can tell you more than the text book. The universal success claim (para 16) is unsourced. Final item is a labelled PROPOSAL, not a source method.

Curator qualifications: Marketing, record-keeping, waiting and release-slip practice are verified as Sargent's 1916 trade advice. -04 correctly avoids legal conclusions about the release slip's partial copyright assignment.
