My dear Sir

We have safely received the M.S. of your New Work & it has been forwarded to Messrs. Clowes with instructions to put it in hand forthwith1

Mr Murray will be very happy to publish it, on the usual terms of 23 profits to the Author, if that be agreable to you.2

Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke
