Nov November 7 - 1878 - Dear Mr. Isbister

So glad you like my story. – Yes. I hope it may do good.

Thanks about Holland. – & I shall be very much obliged if you will send a preliminary copy of G.W. Good Words to your friend – and also to a friend of mine. - “M. Jules Sandoz - Neuchatel – La Suisse" – who is publishing the French translation – though I have the foreign rights of the letter-press – still you might sell your illustrations to both these parties. – If you write to M. Sandoz – say I suggested this – you can write in English - he knows the language being a highly educated & intelligent man – & one of the firm of Fichbacher Fischbacher & Sandoz – Paris – who have branch houses at Neuchatel & Geneva. – "Meade" – query man or woman? is likely to make a first-rate author – “Water Gipsies” is excellent.

I sent you a P.C. postcard yesterday about a missing sheet for which I have to detain the revises – also a suggestion for a paper for S.M. Sunday Magazine which Mr. Waugh will doubtless consider & answer –

Ever sincerely yours DMCraik.
