My dear Mr Smith,

I return the receipt, [1] —repeating (however uselessly) my strong feeling of your generosity, and earnest hope that you may be no loser by it.

My part in the corrections shall be done to my best ability and at once.

Most truly yours ever

Robert Browning

I presume I am to address the proofs to you at Pall Mall: you will let me know if I should do otherwise.
