Summary
Telling Knight that the life subscription rate of five guineas for the Art Congress does not cover back volumes and they only have a few copies left over, but perhaps something can be arranged; saying that he wishes Knight could come to Birmingham; giving him the name and address of the person handling life subscriptions ("W. Cuthbert Quilter MP / 74 South Audley St / W."); saying how much he is looking forward to Knight's book and adding "I was indeed sorry to hear of your loss of the MS."
