Dear Osgood—
Have just arrived. Yes, I agree to the soundness of your construction of the Canadian matter. So you can go ahead & set up the types for Canada whenever you please.
I will go to Canada when notified.
Now what steps must I take to make that bona fide transfer to Chatto. & W.Only a mere piece of paper, like any other bill of sale, I suppose? Draw me up one, & I will sign it & send it through you to Chatto.
I may run up to Boston Thursday of this or early next week.
Ys Truly
