My dear Sir

You may be thinking that I shd. have returned Sr. Delpino’s two pamphlets ere now.—1 I have written a review or notice of both, but keep the pamphlets themselves until I see my MSS in type in case of further reference being needed   And I find that I will not have space for them in my first number— I shall get them into the second—so unless I hear that you wish the pamphlets sooner I shall retain them until they have served their purpose—2

Believe me | Yours sincerely | Andw. Murray

2
The review was published in the third number of the journal (Murray 1868).
