DescriptionKate Pickard informs Peter Still that the book she has written about his life and family is finally out; describes the physical appearance of a copy of the volume that she recently obtained when she saw the publisher, Mr. Hamilton; conveys a request from Hamilton that Still "take an agency to sell the book" so as to realize a good (i.e., greater) profit from it--which is especially likely if Still retraces the travels that he made when fundraising to free his enslaved family; notes that the book is priced at $1.25 per copy; gives Still advice about whether or not to accept an agency to sell the book; notes that she and Still are receiving ten percent on each book; and entreats him to let her know if he is coming (to New York State) to accept a position as a sales agent for the volume.
