"Further to my letter of 8th July, I've appraised the manuscripts at $3,250, which includes $500 for the Susan Morris manuscripts. If I seal them for you I would deduct my ten percent comission from this figure. I would prefer them to go to Tulsa and I spoke to Guy Logsdon on Monday..."

"I received today the first package of manuscript materials and also the galleys from Sonia Raiziss. As soon as I receive the second package and get my work caught up again I'll appraise them..."

"Mrs. Laura Riding Jackson mentioned to me that you might be interested in purchasing some of her manuscripts and, as I have been handling the sales of these for Mrs. Jackson, she has asked me to write to you."

"I'll be happy to hold the [two] 'Leaves' for you until May. I'd also be happy to send them on now and postdate my invoice to fit your convenience."

"I'm writing to remind you of your request to hold Laura Riding Jackson's Two Leaves for the Boston Public Library until May. Would you like me to send these on to you or would you prefer for me to wait for your order."

"I'll hold the Two Leaves for you until July. This presents no problem."

"As per our conversation on Thursday, I'm describing below the collection of Laura Riding Jackson typescripts."

"Laura (Riding) Jackson has asked me to sell a collection of typescripts, galleys, etc., for her. I think that these might be of interest to the Berg Collection and I'm describing them below. They haven't been offered elsewhere."

"Mrs. Laura (Riding) Jackson has mentioned that Chelsea magazine is devoting a complete issue to her and she is considering using some material extracted from the manuscripts in the Berg Collection in this issue."

"I enclose the formal acklowledgement of your confidential statement."
