Dear Helen Paterson

We were so sorry – & do earnestly hope your mother is better. Please write. – Publishers were greatly taken with your sketches – & are to write me their decision about the book & its illustrations shortly. – They suggest one full page & a head & tail piece to each chapter – & there are six chapter chapters . And they will likely want them done at once — so if you could come & stay with us any day on or after the 6th next Saturday – we shall be very glad. – By then I should hope you will be able to leave your mother with ease of mind – But I will write you again as soon as I hear from the publishers –

Here is a poem – which if you could make an illustration to it – on paper – which could be photographed on wood – I would send both to Harpers, New York – for one or other of their two admirable illustrated Newspapers – about the size & character of the Graphic. – I don’t care to publish the poem in England – unless you think the Graphic would take it, & your illustration – & either pay as much as Harper’s would (£5 for me – for you whatever you think fair I would ask & they are nearly sure to give it. – ) or else we might sell double on both sides the water. – You are a woman of business – say what you think of this matter. The size of the drawing you know best also. – Its goodness is much more important than its size. And of that in your hands I am sure – & it might open a door for you over the water.

Ever yours sincerely DMCraik. The Corner House Shortlands Kent 30th Dec December –
