Letter from Sir Monier Monier-Williams to Bernard Quaritch to inform him that the trade price for Indian Wisdom is actually 15 shillings and therefore he should have to charge that price. However he wants to keep his word to Quaritch and therefore encloses a cheque for £1 to cover the extra cost that the publisher will charge. Handwritten, 2 sides, dated 16 July 1875. Quaritch has added a note at the top of the letter: "Send cheque £6 to W.H. Allen".
