Dear Mr. Chapman

I’ll try to polish the “Head" a little more. – Are you intending to follow suit with the others? If not, have you any objection to re-sell me the 3 copy-rights copyrights for a small “consideration” – seeing how very little benefits you seem to have got by the same.

But most certainly if I don’t hear from him on the day he promises, I shall send a little stronger application than my “lady’s” epistles –

You see, I have been ill, & not able to work, so that this sum – of between £20 & £30 – is of considerable moment to me.

My kind thanks to Mrs. Chapman – but it is months since I have been able to get as far as to Brompton – & may be months more. –

I hope all your belongings are well?

Yours very sincerely DMMulock – 17 Apr April –

Would you send me back Mr. Addey’s note? –
