Dear Miss Franklin

Just time for a line. I submitted yr story to Blackwood's manager. He wrote me to come and talk it over; but, on consideration, I thought best to put the business into the hands of my agent Mr Pinker, who has set me on my feet. He'll get more money than we can, and look after yr interests. Am writing for Blackwood myself. I enclose signat Pinkers agreement for yr signature - it is the same as I signed. Sign it and return - and anti-date it to this month, as Pinker has is already looking after yr story. Will write directly I hear from Blackwood. Wife & children well. Am full of work.
Yours faithfully
Henry Lawson
