Yours of 21st rec'd—acknowledging mine containing note of introduction to Symonds. I suppose you rec'd the big MS of yours, (concordance of criticisms &c)—I returned some ten days ago—but you havn't acknowledged it—all right & satisfactory the way you propose. Take your time, & follow out & fulfil what the spirit moves you to make. I will authenticate statistics &c—
W WWhen you address me, always write the New Jersey out in full on envelope. I am not at all afraid of my handwriting appearing on the printer's copy—
