To Henry Thomas Austen Esqre.
Sir
I am now availing myself of the Liberty
you have frequently honoured me with of dedicating
one of my Novels to you. That it is unfinished,
I greive; yet fear that from me, it will always remain
so; that as far as it is carried, it should be so trifling
and so unworthy of you, is another concern to your
obliged humble Servant
The Author
Messrs Demand and Co—please
to pay Jane Austen Spinster the sum of one hundred
guineas on account of your Humble Servant.
H. T. Austen
