Dublin, N.H.
Dear Mr. Niles
What I meant by
"Photo," for the "Monk of Le Trappe"
was a reproduction of the photograph
often seen (of
[unclear]
or
[unclear]
I forget which.) with
the meditative monk leaning over
the convent parapet. I have the
photo at Cambridge.
[unclear]
[unclear]
th
[unclear]
& I cd. send it to you.
The "Anchored
[unclear]
"
will appear in an early Harper's
Mag. & Mr. Alden promised a
vignette, but it might be as
well to have a new one. We
used to see
[unclear]
or
[unclear]
in a
[unclear]
from
[unclear]
[unclear]
[unclear]
at E.
[unclear]
.
I think a vignette
for each part might be well, the

difficulty would be to hit upon the right
ones.
I should think 10 or 12
vignettes would be about right &
think that, on the whole, I should
rather have you pay for the book
& allow 10
[unclear]
commition. You
expressed willingness to do this (though
I am not
[unclear]
of it included the
vignettes) and I think it wd.
[unclear]
my vanity, as I
[unclear]

plates before. But if you would
rather not, I will.
Yrs. ever
