“… Thank you for your appreciative letter. I am glad that you like my books and will willingly send tham to you. But I must tell you that it is difficult to be sure to get them through, especially the I and II vols, of "My Life" which are very often stopped by the postal authorities. As for vols. Ill and IV they are done in 22 conventional chapters and 7 outspoken chapters which I send separately in letters. These can go through easily. "My Life" is done in 4 vols, the price of which is as follows:
Vol. I $ 15
Vol. II $ 15
Vols. Ill & IV counted as one $l6 [added in ms.: “these are sure to reach you”]
or for the four books $46,-
If you send me a cheque I will send the books at once and do my best to get them through …”.
