Summary
Expressing her wish that the "novel may come out within the ensuing fortnight;" adding that she hopes to leave town for several weeks on July 2nd but does not want to do so if all the arrangements are not completed by then; asking him to "use your authority with the printers;" adding "There is still two-thirds of Vol. 3rd un-printed -- the numerous delays have been no fault of mine -- nor I believe of Mr. Hervey's -- I have returned the corrected proofs to him immediately & I doubt not he has done the same to the printers."
