Summary
Letter to her publisher stipulating terms for the publication of her next volume of plays (i.e. "you shall bring out the book as early in the ensuing spring as you conveniently can, and ... give me three hundred & fifty pounds for the copyright. ... I am afraid you will think me rather unreasonable. However, from conversing on the subject with the best informed of my friends, I am convinced that this is not more that I ought to have.").
