*Memo[randu]m for Sir Thomas Hardy

We have written to Mr Wright, pointing out an important difference between the position of ourselves and the printers of the Cambridge Shakespeare, and justifying the reasonableness of our request. But, as Mr Wright, in his letter to us, has made it clear that we can do what is wanted with less trouble than we had supposed, we have asked that the MS may be returned, for the printing to be proceeded with without more trouble to Mr. Wright.

Eyre & Spottiswoode
