Summary
Thanking them for sending him a check and enclosing a receipt; thanking them for giving his latest book such prominence in their advertising and telling them that he would be interested in seeing "any serious reviews ... outside of the 4 or 5 foremost London journals"; enclosing a newspaper notice for the appearance of the conclusion of his novel The shadow of a crime in the London Mercury, and noting, "The short (one vol) story referred to in the enclosed advertisement is a story of Manx fisher life ... it is the most exciting & indeed breathless account of a night's adventure that I know anything about ... my friends say it is as good as my best work".
