Miss Hepworth

 

1.            I have written enclosed letter to Longmans. If the book is an anthology, we must change fees.

 

2.            Haunted House I think it is all right to send only a few copies (under 10) provided you inform Harcourt, Brace. They have agreed to this before.

 

3.            [two vertical lines drawn on the left of the number] Boots. If the packer is convinced that he packed the right number and our stock is correct, I think we should insist upon payment.

 

4.            I return Defence Bond document signed

 

5.            I will deal with Mecklenburgh Square.
