Catalogue Note

My dear Conrad," the author begins. "I am sending you by post (in two parcels) the first ten vols of the Sun-Dial Edition of my works inscribed to your wife and yourself." He explains that the other volumes are to follow in due course, and send his love along with that of his wife.  In general, an affectionate piece of correspondence between Conrad and his namesake.
