Dear Conway—I’ve a letter from Routledge wanting the Old Times on Mississippi & my Bermuda articles for a [book. ] ‸on a royalty.‸
Now my impression is, that my English matters are in your hands, on the same per centage paid you for attending to Tom Sawyer. It is also my impression that you are about to open negotiations with Chatto, & doubtless with Routledge too, for this very book (with the addition of a nice unique short story which I shall send to Chatto for his magazine about a week hence.) Please tell me at once if I my impressions are correct, so I can answer Routledge.
Yrs
