$120 for mss of Promise of the Dawn
R. B. Harding

Is that ship-shape? I would have sent it sooner but I was out of town when it came—up in Pennsylvania. That is the reason I have not written to Annie which I will do tomorrow. Please give her my love—

I am so glad you sent it to the Cornhill.[1] Won’t you let me know if it is accepted as soon as you can? I have another story begun—a Pennsylvania story—[2]

Yours sincerely,
R. B. H.
