Dear Sir, 

According to your wish I send you the account for my 
contributions to The Free Press.2 They fill somewhat more than 27 
columns. You will excuse me for having interrupted. Since I had 
the pleasure to see you last, I was constantly labouring under 
serious liver complaints, and thus forced to imterrupt my 
contributions to The Free Press which, however, I hope to be able 
to resume next week. 

Yours truly 
D. K. M. 

Contributed to the London Free Press 26 columns; the column at 
"lg Guinea; makes 13 Guineas. Received on them 10£. St.; remains 
due to me 3f£. St. 13sh.
