My Dear Mr. Greene

You are very persuasive, but you are a man, and there I am resist you! 
If, by and by, I find it profitable to do more - and safe. I will do it. "And this work will be done more specially in the rural districts" is the language of my most nearest institutions.
Please come and bore me at your earliest [[?]]; I don't think I shall fell it after the book agents are done with me; and if you can stir up the Index I will be pleased. and will send my photograph & aid in a better description. 

Yours Truly, 
R. M. Mauly
