DEAR MR BOOKER, I have told Mr Leadham [Mr Leadham was senior partner in the enterprising firm of publishers known as Messrs.

Leadham and Loiter] to send you an early copy of my "Criminal Queens." I have already settled with my friend Mr Broune that I am to do your "New Tale of a Tub" in the "Breakfast Table." Indeed, I am about it now, and am taking great pains with it.

If there is anything you wish to have specially said as to your view of the Protestantism of the time, let me know.

I should like you to say a word as to the accuracy of my historical details, which I know you can safely do.

Don't put it off, as the sale does so much depend on early notices.
