My dear McKerrow
1. We will send the t.p.
2. I wrote to you some days ago about the price. {1} We can’t do 12/6, & I think we may as well go to 18/-. I don’t think the difference between 16/- (or even 15/-) & 18/- will deter many.
3. And how many shall we print? I think 1500 a minimum (we shd sell 500 quickly, 50 a year for a few years, & then 30?) and 2000 a maximum.
4. I don’t think you need get a second loan for the Strike. {2}
Yours sincerely {3}

R. B. McKerrow Esq.
