Dear Sirs: It is too bad. I can’t see how the mistake could have occurred. If you or Mr. Conway ever wrote Bliss about electros & date of issue, he did not get your letters. I naturally supposed that at least the date of issue had been agreed on, on both sides of the water. I received your unillustrated edition yesterday; it is very handsome, & the proofs were well re read. I told Bliss, the other day, to go right to work making pictures for you, & inform you by cable.
Truly Yrs
S. L. Clemens
