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.

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 principal plates for any thing adapted to our use.

Will you kindly bear this mind & allow me to remain

my dear Sir | yours faithfully | Henry. J. Slack¹ [signature]
