28 lines, in blue ink, over two sides of single 8vo leaf. v.g. An engaging letter from the literary editor John Morley, to Henry Merivale Trollope, Anthony Trollope's son, on the subject of the serialisation of Anthony Trollope's latest work, The Eustace Diamonds. He informs Henry, 'I think the MS. interesting & important - but I am choked with stuff, and don't know how to clear myself up, as housemaids say, within the next six months'. Morley was, as editor of the Fortnightly Review, part way through publishing a work by Frances Eleanor Trollope, Anthony's sister-in-law and Henry's aunt. Morley asks Henry if he 'wd. be so kind as to ask Mrs Trollope about the end of Anne Furness. The sooner it winds up the better for us, if, as I hope, we begin your father's in July. We have in ty/sc almost if not quite ample to fill up the two numbers after April. So it is time to move.' The serialisation of Anne Furness eventually finished in August 1871. It overlapped by a month with The Eustace Diamonds, which was published from July 1871 - February 1873. Henry Trollope trained as a lawyer, and was called to the Bar in 1869. He declined to practise though, instead, with the assistance of his father, procuring a partnership in the Chapman & Hall publishing house. On this subject Morley had a direct interest, as in 1871 he published, through Chapman & Hall, Critical Miscellanies. Sales had evidently been slow, with Morley challenging him on the price asked for the book: 'Surely 14/s is a monstrous high price for my. volume'. He concedes that he is 'ignorant of the considerations which regulate such matters', and that 'a publisher knows his business better than I', but still suggests that had the volume been offered at 10/6 'twice as many' would have sold. Morley concludes by commenting, 'If you sell 300 at this price, I shall be excessively surprised - and my vanity tickled in like proportion'.
