As the author is dotng so much of the correspond.ence ln regard to'these mattere rllrect wlth your offtce, I do not crant to rrlte to hlm concerntng it, if I can help tt. But lt le tmportant that I should be kept in touch with the dellvery of hie manuscrlpts, date of publlcatlon, etc., trr ord.er to avold the trouble whieh prevlouely arose ln regard to the paynents on theee books whieh have to be made to me aB the authorte agent. Would you be good enough to let me know whether thls manuscript hae been del lvered to Sou, and ap1. proxlmately, when tt ls to be publlehed.Am I right that the eeoond volume of tlrese boyts booke by Verul}l ls coming out thls fall? I belleve there ls a balance of $1?5,00 to be pald on the eecond volume, and aecordtng to rqy memo, this w13tr be due December 15th. Is thte correct aecordlng to the preeent srrangemente? Youre sincerely, RHvr0
