(Mrs. Samuel G.)

Mrs. Sewall
1881

Dear Mrs Stone
I am much pleased
that you like my little story
and have no objection to its going
into the Journal, indeed should
be glad to see it there, but Mrs.
[Diarn?] wants me first to read it
 at an entertainment they expect
to have it at the Union, and as
I have never done anything except
for my own department there, and
have been playfully accused of 
great partiality, I should be glad
to assist.
She also thinks she can get
money for the verses by sending

to a magazine she deals
with, and says it; but poetry
is not a very marketable thing,
and I doubt it - Supposing she 
could however, which would you
rather have, the verses for your
paper, or the money for your 
cause - You shall choose-
If it amounts to much I advise
you to take the money -
Cordially
H W Sewall-
April 9th
