Interesting letter written from a stay in New York to a Mr Guilder, probably the editor of an American journal, inquiring about his intentions for a manuscript by Tissot for a "Christmas number" of the journal and if he would return it: "Notre séjour s’avance et touche bientôt à sa fin avant de partir je voudrais bien savoir à quoi m’en tenir au sujet du manuscrit que vous avez en main, je désirerais savoir la quantité de lignes que vous avez réservé pour votre Christmas number, ensuite que comptez vous faire de l’ensemble.
Comptez-vous le garder ou le rendre. Si vous le gardez quelle est pour vous la valeur que vous lui attribuez. J’oublie de vous demander le prix que vous comptez rétribuer le lignes que vous gardez." In a short postscript, Tissot asks for an offer should Guilder want to keep the manuscript. - On stationary of the American Art Association..
