My dear Sir,
Your paper on Bridge Bracing has not come to hand.1 I am rather hesitant whether Mr Masson has any article on American affairs for the September number. If he has not I will ask him to see whether yours wd suit him. You know he is the chief who has authority. 2 I shall be very glad if it does.
In the mean time I tell you that the paper has not reached me. Your letter seemed to imply that you had sent it.
