To Charles L. Webster
5 March 1884 • Hartford, Conn. (MS, in pencil: NPV, UCCL 02929)
Dear Charley—

Tell Mr. Prang to send me some more stuff, & let me work it into shape while I am in the humor of it. I have edited the batch you gave me, & have made three-fourths of it answer, by making alterations in it. It’s going to be a pretty big job, I guess.

I am gradually getting it through my head that maybe your 15% suggestion is not much out of the way, though I’ll be hanged if it looks like a third of the profits, somehow.

What about the Prince & Tom Sawyer? I think of sending both to England. Send me copies of them.

Ys Truly
