Thank you for your nice letter3
about the book4. I let Alfred5 answer the business part of your
letter because he can do it better than I. I would love to have Wiggins
Dwiggins6 do the actual make-up and design of the
books - if, perhaps, you could get him to use the type I so much like in the
thistle Stevenson7. We will talk all these
things over when you come down in January. Please try to make that visit
occur after the 12th of January, as I have to go down to Washington8 again just after the New Year,
to be with my old uncle9 who is ill.
He is eighty years old, and my visits do seem to cheer him up a good
deal.
