Dear Sir,
In reply to yours we beg to say that we do not wish in any way to limit your article <1> & we shall be glad if you will send us just as much as you think best. We are obliged to you for the corrections in the proof wh shall be attended to.
The size of the plate is not a serious matter but if you have a plate a little larger wh will work equally well perhaps it wd look better as the margin will be large round the small plate, but the small plate will do very well all the same.
We are, Sir Yours faithfully
Sampson Low, Marston & Co
