Summary
Thanking her for her "diplomacy" with the Athenæum; saying "Miller told that he could distinctly trace the sales of a number of copies (Shilling, as well as Farthing) to the Review in the Athenæum;" saying that "...my inversion of the whole present system of Advertising...has proved 'irresistible' Between 25 and 35 of the Shilling copies have been purchased every day - except magazine day - since it has been out at that price;" saying he is feeling better and at work on something new.
