Why shouldn’t you & I buy that Granger man’s book & publish it through the American Publishing Co. here? That is to say, (if it will make 500 or 600 pp. 8vo,) give him $2,000 or $3,000 for his book, or else give him 5 or 6 per cent royalty & then we charge the Pub. Co. 8 or 10 per cent royalty. We could sell between 50,000 & 100,000 copies at $3.50Ⓐemendation apiece.

We send warm regards to yourself & Mrs. Fuller. Mrs. Clemens has been ill for a week, but is about the room again.
