Maupassant and Sand at length on their current work. Maupassant writes to his Belgian publisher, Henry Kistemaeckers, to offer for publication a collection of ten short stories, which he expects will be a ‘a bit longer than Mademoiselle Fifi'. He gives instructions on the future book’s format and printing as well as the sale price and terms of the publishing deal: ‘you will produce a nice demi luxe edition, but not quite the same as the ordinary volumes, as I do not wish to flood Paris with volumes of short stories in this format. The selling price would be 3f.50 or four francs ... you will pay me in advance on 1 August for half of this edition. The other half when it goes on sale.’ Sand discusses the recently revised 9th chapter of her novel Mademoiselle La Quintinie (1863) – ‘voila toutes mes raisons, mon ami. […] êtes vous content des autres actes?’
