Summary
Acknowledging receipt of a check for £40 from "Household Words"; saying "I consider it a most liberal 'cash equivalent' for the story of "Sister Rose". As soon as I can get another good subject, for another story of the same length, I shall gladly devote the said story to H.W. - always provided I find I can succeed well enough in my work to make it worthy of its destination."
