My dear Ralph,

Enclosed you will find in duplicate three little
stories translated from the Butch. The author, awnsieur Thiry,
is very poor, and his friends have thought the rich English
and Americans might let him have some cash for his little tales.
One or two of them, therefore, who appear to me to be absolutely
ignorant of the English language, have translated some of the
stories and sent them to me. I have revised the translations
as well as octmlete ignorance of Dutch will allow; and I thought
you wpuld not mind, as a favour, and in the Gauge of charity,
casting them upon the waters. flbviously they are not suited to
any periodicals that pay high rates, but you might find EOme
small magazine here or in America which.wculd fancy them. It
does not matter if you get only a pound or two for them, as
the snallesfi contributions Would be thankfully received on tea
half of the author 3y Madame Steenmoyer, Stationsstraat 35,
$161; Holland. Madame Steenmeyer knows that if you sell any-
thing you will deduct lqfi commission. ForgiVe me for bothering
you with these trifles, but it is difficult to resist the call
of poverty, and 1 have really put in a good deal of time revis-
ing the translations, which were gibberish.

fours,

J. Ralph Pinker, Esq.
