Dear Mr Chatto,1

Thanks for the check (£15.0.0.) and for the other half of the Arabian Nights, since you are determined to do penance.2

I may possibly have an article soon. I wrote it a couple of days ago, but I may not publish it for a month or two.3

Yours very truly

Samℓ L. Clemens.
Pr F. C. H.
