Dear Sir.
We notice in the Prospectus of the Atlantic for 1877, your announcement that Mark Twain will contribute during the year. Can we make arrangements with “The Atlantic” to publish his sketches simultaneously in our magazine. We would be willing to pay liberally for the right to publish them in the magazine, although the law allows us to pirate them—
Awaiting your reply,
We Remain
Yours Truly
Belford. Bros
