Summary
Congratulating Furniss "on having finished [his] 4 years' job" on the "Peter and Paul" drawings and Sylvie and Bruno; noting that he is not sure whether the publisher plans to "aim at middle of January, or Easter, for publication"; telling him that he "can't make use of the whole of the railway-picture" but hopes to include "all that is of real interest."
