Hamlet House
Hammersmith
London Nov 28
Dear Clemens,
I have only a moment before mail closes but write to say that we implore information when you have any to send concerning the Belford matter.
I have addressed to Miss Lee the great impersonator of “Jo” in Bleak House about Tom Sawyer but have no reply yet. I heard she was in want of a new piece.
—Chatto writes in some anxiety about your new book on the North Pole. I told him you would naturally let him have it. He has done admirably by Tom Sawyer; we shall soon send you the money for 2000; you can by no possibility do so well elsewhere.
Ever Yours
M D Conway
If you do not send us advance MS or earliest proof of your new book you may find there are Belfords in London too.
