Summary
Asking if McIlvaine will help set a price for his manuscript; noting that he thinks £100 "would be quite fair" for The Milkmaid manuscript; saying that he will "include the ms. of some poems -- or at least one poem" because "Mr. Morgan might like for completeness to have some verse as well" [see MA 821, the autograph manuscript signed of Hardy's "The Abbey Mason."]
