Dear Michael Sadleir,
Forgive a troublesome author. But if there is still time, if the printers have not got so far would you - could you extract a story called Sixpence from near the end of my book & throw it away? I have not a copy by me but I have a horrible feeling it is sentimental & should not be there.
I may be asking something impossible. If I am Im very sorry to have worried you.
Yours very sincerely
Katherine Mansfield.
Dear Mr Gerhardi,
I wrote to Mr Cobden-Sanderson on the 28th of this month. I do hope you will arrive at some satisfactory arrangement with him. Many thanks for your letter. Dont think Im kind. I feel so strongly that writers ought to have a real claim on each other.
K.M.
