Autograph letter signed : Surbiton, to [W.M.] Colles, [1895 Apr. 17] "Wednesday."

Writing literary agent William Morris Colles to request the return of his "Bromley Gibbert's Story", as he has a publisher interested in purchasing a story from him and he is himself too busy with a novel to take the time to write a new piece; explaining that, although the story won't be used until Christmas, the publisher would like to receive it right away to allow time for the preparation of illustrations; enclosing a check to pay for a guest at the Sir Besant Dinner.
