Dear Sir,

In reply to yours <1> of yesterday we beg to say we should prefer to have any account you like to send us in the form of an appendix because we can then get on with the printing of the rest of the work <2> and as this will take about 10 days or a fortnight we can give you that time before we should require any copy for appendix. In the meantime will you kindly let us know if there are any corrections to be made in the body of the work or in the proof we sent you, otherwise we can go to press.

We are, Sir Yours faithfully
Sampson Low Marston & Co
