Summary
Reads in full: "I have done the impossible and send you by today's post four superb proofs -- two of the 'Doorway' and two of the 'Beggars.' You would be most unwise to ask less than 15 gs [guineas] a piece -- and ought to have 20. Kindly let me know of their safe arrival at once. The parcel must be undone with the greatest possible care as these proofs are on Japanese and most 'fragile.' I will write more about them." Postscript states: "The proofs must of course be pressed again at once but with such care!"
