Summary
Thanking him for sending him a copy of "Contemporary English woodcuts" (i.e. "your woodcut book"), praising the quality of the book, expressing his pleasure at hearing of the positive reception it has received from the booksellers ("it is indeed most encouraging if there really is a public for such austere prints (what the public calls 'austere' of course) put together in such a handsome manner"), and offering to distribute prospectuses for it.
