I am anxious to have our acc't settled up. Comparing your rec't of my books from Doolady, April 28, '73 (239 Leaves of Grass, &c. &c)—with the acc't of books handed over by you to Butts (168 Leaves of Grass, &c &c)—see my last letter to you, Feb. 16—there are to be acc't 'd for to me, 71 copies, L of G. Deduct 25 copies sent to Boston by my order, & 3 copies to Graphic, leaves 43 copies (@ $1.40) to be acc't 'd for to me at $60.20. Deduct from this the adv. 2 times in Tribune and Graphic (4 times)—(?7, or 8 or 9$) leaving over $50 due me—May I not hope for the settlem't of this acc't without delay—& remittance to me of am't due.
W WI still remain here partially paralyzed. I have not charged the copies of other books besides L. of G. as the sales were slight.
