First draft of letter, in note-book 59 (57) W. A. Wilde Go., 1900 110 Boylston St., Boston. Dear Sir: I should be very
glad to add to your list of books. But as I have now already 3 books on hand promised Houghton Mifflin and the Cent ury Co.,
and far from finished, it will be some time before I can undertake anything further. With thanks for your kind letter, I
am, Very truly yours, J. M. 02890
