Dear Charley—
Most of this proof was clean & beautiful, & a pleasure to read; but the rest of it was read by that blind idiot whom I have cursed so much, & is a disgraceful mess.
Send me slips from where the frauds arrive & sit down to supper in Miss Mary’s house, up to slip No. 73.
Send me also slips from No. 75 up to 81.
And insist that the rest of the proofs be better read.
Yrs
