                <p>I have been thinking of your friend – on whom I was obliged to be hard yesterday
                    – If she only wants work – &amp; not money – here is this book, which I cannot
                    give to be translated by a <hi rend="underline">poor</hi> author – because the
                    chance of its being printed is very small – of its being paid for, absolutely
                    nil. – But if she likes to undertake it for kindness sake &amp; can do it well –
                    here it is. – I have started it, myself – to let her see the sort of style
                    required – &amp; the way she must make it into paragraphs – which <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#DeWittHenriette">Mad<hi rend="superscript">ame</hi>
                        de Witt</persName> does not – simple, brief, conversational Saxon English is
                    the right thing. – keeping of course as close to the French as will allow – so
                    as not to read Frenchified &amp; like a translation. – She had better, if she
                    tries it, send me the book &amp; her translation of the first tale, to see if it
                    will do. – I am concluding that she knows French well. – Also that she really
                    wants some useful work to do – If not, you can send me the book back again – </p>
