Summary
Expressing his gratitude to Balston for "taking so much interest in the book"; noting that he has written to "Watts" to let him know "what the offer is"; informing him that the only time he will be free on Sunday is between 12 and 1 and noting how much he enjoyed their recent conversation; writing that he "felt some compunction" at having "deluged" him with information concerning his circulation, but he wished "to justify my claiming such excessive royalties!"; asking to whom he should send a review copy of "A.P.'s book."
