My book Year after Year came out on Monday 8th. Saunders & Otley wrote me word, the first small Ed: 250 was at once taken up by the booksellers & on Wednesday he sent an order from Mudie for 50 copies & an additional 500 (or perhaps including the 50) if he cd have them at 5/- the selling price is 10/-. I went to the shop on Thursday but Saunders was not there. I asked the Confidential shopman about the Number of Copies sold. It must be nearly all the first Edition sd he— “Why sd I, how many copies are there in the Ed:. Had he made a slip of the Tongue— —he sd with hesitation, Mr. Saunders made a small Edition but told their printers to keep printing—the 500 will be delivered on Monday.— Sd it was much asked for by Ladies in the Circulating Library—One gentleman who knew me had bought a copy 1 askd for an Analysis of the Bible for Meysey {her son}, “no we dont keep that kind of book. The ladies dont want them. They come on a Saturday, & say Here’s Sunday coming, & I have not a Novel to read.” The little Man was quite concernd; & tho’ I am a Writer of novels felt sure of my Sympathy{.}]
