A SKETCH

By Hans Christian Andersen.

Translated By Mary Howitt

To MESSRS. MUNROE AND CO.

Gentlemen,—I take this opportunity of forwarding to you, the proof sheets of the unpublished Life of Hans Christian Andersen—translated from a copy transmitted to me for that purpose, by the Author. It is as well to state that this is the Author's Edition, he being participant in the proceeds of this work.

I remain, gentlemen,

Yours truly,

MARY HOWITT.
