My Dear Sir

The cost price of a set of Electrotypes from the woodcuts of your new work is £4"10"— I think Mr Schweitzererbart shd pay £10"   as for the Russian Edition, you can fix the price as you please—2 I will insure that Mr Clowes makes good Electros—3

I can send those for Schweitzerbart as he directs.

I remain | My Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | John Murray
