I have no objection to your advertising, if you wish to do so. I consider business hours to be from nine to six, or nine hours – If therefore you only give me three hours of the day, the salary would be in proportion to the time forty pounds per annum – But as you would derive no benefit from that arrrangement, I am willing to give sixty pounds –
