Additional Details

"My engagement with Robert's Brothers will not allow me to write continued tales for any one at present.

"I have some more sketches taken from my foreign letters, like those printed in the 'Independent'--if things of that sort would suit you.

"By the first of January I could begin some short articles should you desire it. I'm afraid I shall be known as 'Hospital Alcott' if I write any more in that that [sic] vein so I've given it up.

"For short contributions I require ten dollars a column."
