^[[H]]ow many copies do I want? Well;I could use at least a dozen, among my personal friends; but I don't wish to be greedy.

Copies ought to be sent for review to H.E.Krehbiel of the N.Y.Tribune ;H.T.Finck, of the N.Y.Evening Post;W.[[strikethrough]] M. [[/strikethrough]] T.Henderson, of the N.Y.Times;Louis C.Elson, Philip Hale and John S. Dwight, of Boston;W.S.B.Mathews, editor of "Music", 240 Wabash Ave,Chicago;and THE ETUDE,1704 Chestnut St., Phila. I don't think of any others, at present.As for the best way of pushing the sale; you had better consult some good business man, not me.

I trust you are going to recover your health, now, and that Francis will also get well and continue so.

I think I wrote you that Mrs F. broke her right wrist, very badly, in Dec. The break has been complicated with rheumatism and so has made but very slow progress.She can hardly use the hand at all, yet.The res^[[t]] of us are as usual.Tell Francis that John is sick of California, and is coming home soon, with a view to try office work. Mrs F. wishes me to give you both her kind regards.To which I add my [[strikethrough]] own, most heartily. ^[[Excuse the eccentricities of this type-writer.]]
 
Yours as ever,

^[[P.S. I think This Presser, publisher of [[underlined]]The Etude[[/underlined]] (Phila) and of my books, might be a good man to consult as to the best way of putting the Monograph on the Market. You can use my name with him.
