Dear Charley—
Hang Raymond, let him go—he is no good.
Yes, I think, as you do, that the heliotype will pay very well at 2 cents. I will send you one or two excellent negatives tomorrow.—that is what the heliotypers require. They can choose between the two. Be sure & attach the words “From the bust by Karl Gerhardt.”
Livy has been sick—is sick—& will not be able to travel for a week or ten days yet.
Keep the Sellers play in your safe until I am done with the platform—then I will send for it & turn it into a novel.
Ys T[r]uly
