THE CORNER HOUSE SHORTLANDS KENT Dear Sir

When you wrote about my business, you forgot my Cousin Miss Craik’s – but I waited till you were at home. Still no answer has been given – You have had her M.S. manuscript a long time – she cannot wait longer. May I hear from you at once about it?

Very Truly yours DMCraik – Sep September 9:th –
