Autograph letter signed : London, to R. Martin, 1870 June 13.

Thanking him for sending a copy of a Norwich newspaper featuring a favorable review of his novel [i.e., Old love and the new], and informing him that the book is to be translated into French and published in Paris; saying that he does not think that he will be able to leave London before the middle of July, as he needs to finish the second volume of his history, but that he would visit him should he pass through town.
