Summary
Asking for confirmation that they received "the woodblocks for 'A French Country Family'. I took considerable pains with them & I think the result was good;" asking for payment for "the early sheets - as she desires to hand it to the French author M. Guizot's daughter;" asking if they made "any use of the early sheets of a Garden Party which i sent to you in November?" asking if they could use the "early sheets of a short story by my wife - which will appear in Macmillan's Magazine beginning probably in May & occupying four or six numbers? Harpers pages being taken up with a Woman's Kingdom I suppose you do not care for it?" trusting that they are receiving the copy and woodblocks for 'A Woman's Kingdom' "in time for convenient use."
