Dear Sirs

Yours of 10th just rec'd​ —If you desire to cease to be the publishers of Leaves of Grass unless I make the excisions required by the District Attorney—if this is your settled decision—I see indeed no other way than "some reasonable arrangement for turning the plates over" to me—What is the am't​ of royalty due me, according to contract, from the sales altogether? & what is your valuation of the plates?

Walt Whitman
