Scope and content
Refers to the forwarding of a book to R.L. Stevenson. States that he would have sent it from Budapest. Suggests that he send it to Stevenson's publishers, with a letter asking them to forward it, and that he send money to cover the costs also. According to Sidgwick's 'Postal Guide', the cost of sending a package to 'Navigators Islands [Samoa]' is one penny for every two ounces. Offers to take care of it if Patterson forwards it to him.
