I enclose Mountsier's letter which please return. - His suggestion as regards to "Stavrogin [sic] Confession" to be supplemented by the "[1 word illeg.]' revision, I believe, is correct, for American publishers generally like 'thick' books.

To the regard to the Goldenweiser material I think, that besides the material (about 6 or 8 thousand words) which Virginia mentioned sending to the Mercury, some ten thousand words should be sent to Cassell's Weekly. They are quite likely to publish it.

I also think that the Goldenweiser material ought to be submitted to the Century Magazine or Hearst's Magazine simultaneously with its submission to American publishers. I, at least, am very much interested in making some money of this book.

When is "Tolstoi Letters" to appear in John’ London [sic]?

Please return me the Russian Goldenweiser before you go away.

Yours | SS Koteliansky.
