Summary
Enclosing "...sketch for Title-page & cover of Peter Ibbetson...to be done facsimile with the [illegible] signature beneath, 'Peter Ibbetson del. et.'] He is supposed to have died in signing it. I think the cover of 'A New England nun & other stories by Mary E. Wilkins' excellent - Why not have a similar cover for P.I.? I should like to see proof of the title page with the 2 French lines. I have not received it yet. I enclosed two sets of corrected proofs (89-104) - Kindly let me know if they arrive today."
