My dear sir

When I had the pleasure of seeing your collection I expressed a hope that you would send me another paper for the Intellectual Observer.¹

Six or eight pages suits me best in point of length, & you must be [2] brim full of interesting subjects connected with the fauna of America or the Indian archipelago, which are either quite new or very little known.

Just at present I do not want any papers that require important plates as illustrations, & perhaps you could select a subject either requiring none, or [3] simple wood cuts.

In a few months I could give you one of our principle plates for any thing adapted to our use. Will you kindly bear this [in] mind?

Allow me to remain, | My dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Henry. J. Slack [signature]
