I am glad that you decided to retain "Haps and Mishaps" as the title of the book. I concluded from the pertinacious questioning of your printer, that I &lt;u&gt;must&lt;/u&gt; substitute some other. and in my hurry could think of nothing better than the one I sent you.

              <text>&lt;span&gt;Greenwood reports that she has almost recovered from her illness. She is pleased with Fields retaining "Haps and Mishaps" as the title of her book and thanks him for his favor regarding the damaged luggage. Greenwood wonders whether Fields will advertise all his juvenile works in her columns and whether he will get out new editions of her books this fall. Furthermore, she asks Fields to send her a copy of &lt;em&gt;Tanglewood Falls&lt;/em&gt; for Hawthorne and a copy of Mrs. Croslands' book dedicated to her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
