Personal | My dear J M S

If we are going into this thing my notion is to do it as thoroughly as consistent & tempered by publishing a monthly mag: for popular reading. My suggestion w'd be (if you feel to give space enough) to print after that "personal memoranda" of mine, the three pieces as follows:

  • the Quaker bit
  • the piece ab't L of G. in science
  • & then Traubel's piece, (pretty high handed & eulogistic as it is)

each of these three pieces signed by its author's name (now that O'Connor and Mrs: Gilchrist are dead those three are perhaps my best representative adherents, illustrators & longest knowers, personal & literary)—H T has been & is faithful & invaluable to me—I have cull'd out some parts of his MS too eulogistic & transcendental & if you note any more, do so further—I have been clear to supervise all this matter not only f'm the self-description & self-love points, but also of the point of view of an article for a monthly mag: for miscellaneous readers.

H T's MS will probably come to you forthwith—Let me see good proofs in good time.
