Dear Wolf[sic],

 

Would you give me some advice on the following matter?

 

I have written a short article (about 4000 to 5000 words) describing a very curious French lady who used to coach us as for the diplomatic service. I sent the article to Jack [?] for the Mercury, but he considered it, and perhaps rightly, too personal for publication. I have however shown it to some of my friends, who have urged me to let [sic?] it printed.

 

Now would the Hogarth Press undertake to print me 100 numbered copies for private distribution? And what would it cost? I have no idea myself and know not whether I could afford it.

 

But [?] could you let me know? [illeg.] I only want it done in pamphlet form - Scarlet paper wrapper.

 

Sincerely[?] | Harold Nicholson [signature]
