Summary
Concerning the legal matters surrounding the registration of 'I Say No'; saying "But I am also ashamed that your valuable time should have been given to a matter so trifling in itself, though so seriously important to me. I have already written to Baron Tauchnitz to ask for the address of the agent whom he recommended, and you shall have his reply the moment I receive it. So far as I can now tell, the weekly publication of 'I Say No' will be concluded in 'The People' newspaper either in No 143 (published here, Sunday July 6th) or in No 144 (July 13th)...Let me also thank you for the copy of Mr. Jüngling's last letter. I entirely agree that our only course is to wait - and hope."
