Saw Robertson. He said he'd meant to say he thought you were bound to Blackwood not Pinker and that he would write to you [etc]. Perhaps that cheque saved you from making an irreparable blunder with your book. Re cutting down: Blackwood gave me more latitude than Angus & Robertson. If B doesn't take new book, Pinker will give it to my new publisher - Methuen. Have you told 'em about fourth edition? - Have you got a copy of new book? - Could you manage to get it typewritten, or copy it for safety? Seal very carefully and register. Was very glad to get letter from your Mother and I will write to her. I seem to be booming just now.
Yours sincerely
Henry Lawson
