Dear Bro—
All right—send the MS.
Will think over returning “1601,” but don’t wholly like the idea. We’ll see. Shall add to, & finish the article, before long.
Yes, the patent supersedes engraving. No circulars issued. No rightsⒶemendation will be sold for a year, yet. If the thing is then a success, we will sell some rights; if isn’t a success, rights couldn’t be given away.
Yr Bro
Sam
Have added 114 pages to Prince & Pauper. I thought that might almost complete it, but it doesn’t bring it to the middle, I judge.
