Summary
Proposing to call on them tomorrow, if convenient; stating that he does not wish to sell the copyright to his novel, The deemster, outright, as he believes that "this book will live much longer than myself", and proposing that they lease rights to the book for 5 or 7 years instead; expressing his anxiety over sales of the cheap edition of his novel A son of Hagar, but assuring them that, with the help of the highly successful The deemster, the book will ultimately sell.
