May 9 1878 Dear Mr. Isbister

Could you not arrange with Sampson Lowabout sending the block with Mr. H.Hunt'ssketch to Harper'swithout delay? – They are quite sure to want it – to accompany the poem. –

The payment to Mr. H.H. we have said nothing about – but I feel sure you will offer him a fair "honorarium" – which is to belong specially tolittle Gladys. – He's much pleased about both sketch sketch & poem.

Herewith I send Miss Noel Paton's"Fight for Freedom" – which I left with Mr.Daldy for Good Words – and it was sent to Mr.Waugh,startling him considerably! as he says love stories are not desirable in a Sunday Maganzine!! – though he praised this one very much – I hope Dr. MacLeodwill allow G.W. readers to fall in love – else it will come rather hard with young Mrs. Jardine– a regular out and out love story – which all the young people are sure to approve of! –

very truly yours DMCraik –
