To the manager of the Pacific Review: „In reference to your kind enquiry of June 28th, I scarcely think my engagements would permit me to contribute to your first number, nor do I care to write one of your little articles. It is not worth my while to do anything under two hundred and fifty dollars for the American serial rights, though for this amount, payable in advance, I could some day arrange to supply an article of double the length you mention.“
