1 Doune Terrace Edinburgh. Nov November 4th My dear Sir

By this post I send off the last proofs of Olive – which I see is to be out on the 9th

Will you do me one favor? I wish to have three (out of the usual no) copies here in Edin. Edinburgh on the day of publication – Could you manage to send them that they may reach me on that day? – They might come in your bookseller’s parcel. Mr. Chambers’ office. or – if that would be less trouble to you – I believe there is a parcel sent every Saturday from Messrs Orr & Co to the Chambers – only please let me have them on the 9 th here.

The other three – perhaps one of your boy-messengers would deliver – not at my home – but at Mr. Westland Marston’s 22 Rochester Road Camden Road Villas

For the remaining account between us – will you still kindly rest my banker until I ask it? – And I do hope the book will sell – that I may have (as I believe I understood you I should in that case – though I was then to ill to argue the point) the £150 for the Olgilvies. For indeed I do deserve it – I have tried so hard to perfect the novel in every way & now I can truly say that there is not a sentence or line, which I thought could be improved – that I have not done so to the best of my power.

I shall be in London very soon now – when I hope to have the pleasure of seeing yourself & Mrs. Chapman.

very sincerely yours DMMulock –
