6 I have kept a copy of the enclosed letter. When you have carefully
7read it if you are so good as to be willing to do it, post it
8registered to Dr Brown & get ?note of delivery, ^in England^ 4d I think
9I enclose 4d.

11 If only I can get all my work out of their hand, & anything in writing
12from Brown Little & Co showing they will not be able to interfere with
13any American firm to whom I send sell this work, I shall have a little
14to live on. Of course if I were in America I could see the publisher,
15& a good American lawyer myself it could all be arranged at once.

17 I enclose Brown Little's last letter to me. The 5 years from the date
18of my agreement with Roberts Bros ends this November.
