line 4: Dear Sir,
line 5: I have received Mr
line 6: Guernsey's letter from you on behalf
line 7: of the Messrs Harper, which as it was
line 8: sent open no doubt you read.
line 9: Mr Guernsey declines the two
line 10: propositions which would have
line 11: been acceptable to me, and adheres
line 12: to the third from which, as I
line 13: explained in my former letter, I
line 14: have not the power to debar him.
line 15: You will of course understand
line 16: that it could never suit an author
line 17: to supply work to a magazine to be
line 18: published a bit now and a bit
line 19: in full a few months time. In suchPage 2
line 1: a series as that I now propose
line 2: this would of course altogether
line 3: upset my views. As regards the
line 4: full stories remaining in the hands
line 5: of the Messrs Harper I should
line 6: take it as a favour if you could
line 7: let me know when they appear.
line 8: As it is I am instructed
line 9: to call upon you for £40. Perhaps
line 10: you would have the goodness to
line 11: pay that amount to my
line 12: account at the London Joint
line 13: Stock Bank, Princes Street,
line 14: Mansion house and toPage 3
line 1: oblige me with a line saying
line 2: that this has been done.
line 3: Your very faithful Servant
line 4: Anthony Trollope

line 6: Sampson Low Esq.
