31 Sackville S^{t <1>}
6 March 1830

Sir

I send you the M.S. containing eight Tales, ^<2> which I wish to be arranged in the following order, viz.

The Magic Mirror
Conrad, or a Tale of the Crusades
A Legend of Denmark
Rosina
Sir Edwin, or the Zauber Thal
X Abdallah’s Ring
The Pearls
Rubezahl, or the Mountain Spirit

They are all sent except the one marked with a Cross which however will be ready by the time it is wanted.

I think the size and type should be that of the edition in 4 vols of the poems of L.E.L. ^<3> If you have got a copy of that, I wish you would look at it and let me know what you think. I shall be glad to see you when at leisure, if you will let me know beforehand, that I may be at home.

Yours truly
Henry Fox Talbot

Please acknowledge the receipt of the M.S.

1830 March 6 –
