Gentlemen

I send you proof of a paper to appear in Chamber's Journal this day three weeks – & another "Our Lost Pet" – Which as it does not appear till Saturday next – may yet reach you in time to secure prior publication in which henceforth I shall take care you have. –

Three other papers of mine. "Brother Jonathan's Pet" – in No Number 211. – Going out to Play – 218. – & "Want Something to Read" 224. – Many already published, you must use your discretion as to asking.

I had no knowledge that "A Woman's Thoughts" had been reprinted – it was very unfair to me. Will you give me the name of the publisher?

I should prefer if while giving my name ("The Author of John Halifax" not "Miss Mulock," if you please) among your list of contributors you would not put it to individual papers: as many like the enclosed are so much better appearing anonymously.

£5 per article taking the average of long or short (the enclosed happens to be a short one) is whatever" I have hitherto recieved per America. – If such is unexpected with the "Atlantic's" rate of payment – perhaps it had better continue to the papers all to be finally collected in a volume. If some what varied matter as they have included over the last four of five years. – Of this volume you can have the rights of republication. –

With hope of a long & satisfactory correspondence, I remain, Gentlemen

Yours very truly Dinah Mulock.
