  see notes Oct 7 1888 went by steamer Aug 12. '71 F. S. Ellis, Publisher, 33 King st. Covent Garden,  
 London:

I take the liberty of writing at a venture to propose to you the publication, in a moderate-priced volume, of a full edition of my poems, Leaves of Grass, in England under my sanction.—I send by same mail with this, a revised copy of L. of G. I should like a fair remuneration or percentage.

I make this proposition not only to get my poems before the British public, but more because I am annoyed at the horrible dismemberment of my book there already & possibility of something worse.

 

Should my proposal suit you, go right on with the book. Style of getting it up, price, rate of remuneration to me, &c. I leave entirely to you. Only the text must be sacredly preserved, verbatim.

Please direct to me here, as soon as convenient.
