Dear Sir

I wish to dispose of the copyright of “Winifred Lee – ” to make a small Easter book for young people. Reckoning its worth by the sum I receive from the Messrs Chambers for stories of equal length (in their Library for young people) the price should be £20 – still if you are not disposed to give that sum – I would take less – as I much want the book to come out at Easter & it is late already – on this account perhaps you will let me hear from you soon –
