DS, two pages, 8.5 x 13, October 18, 1922. Contract between Edgar Rice Burroughs and A. C. McClurg & Company, in which the former "hereby gives and grants…the exclusive right and license to publish, print, and sell" the work Tarzan and the Golden Lion for "a royalty of twenty per cent (20%) upon the retail or catalogue price of all copies of said book sold in the United States."
