I have to take 100 pr^fs upon india of each of the small plates before the writing is put in that will excuse some little delay ¹ As soon as done pr^fs shall be forwarded to you I have had some difficulty in obtaining the highly polished plates Three times I have returned them I hope to have them back to day when they shall be forwarded.

I am Y^r Ob^t Ser^t
