Yours of 22d just to hand. I am much relieved to hear so good an account of the tomb settlement or probability of settlement. I think your offer is very fair and I expect they will accept it—I am sure Harned will secure you a fair deal. So the English folk want to buy the American copy right? If I were you I would sell it—so much down and a small sum per vol. (3, 4 or 5 p.c. of selling price) or sell for cash out and out. The book will never be published untill some good house gets control of it and has an interest in showing it—I would stipulate for no changes in the text and let her go. The book is finished now—let it be given to the world—at present the world knows nothing about it and it never will if D. Mackay​ McKay​ continues to handle it.

With best love—So long! R M Bucke   see notes Dec 4 1891
