Dear Madame
We shall be happy to undertake the publication of Mark Twain’s new work upon the terms suggested by you this morning—viz. that he should bear the entire cost of production, and pay us a royalty of 10 per cent upon the entire amount of sales. With the exception of this 10%, we pay over the ent ‸whole‸ proceeds of sales to Mark Twain.
Yours very truly
Chatto [&] Windus
F.J.H.
