James informs Holland that he has posted to Holland a recently finished story, which he thinks "is quite as good as anything I have done." He promises the 4th and 5th installments within the month. He asks Holland for prompt payment. He adds a plea to the printers on the subject of typographical errors: "It is a great affliction to me in a thing of this importance that I don't see a proof. I write an abominable hand & my Ms. is rich in erasures, so that misprints are very easy; but I beg on my bended knees & with tears in my eyes that they be as nearly as possible avoided."
