Blackheath S.E.
18 July 1859.
My Dear Sir
I have corrected and
returned to Mr Dorrell the
first four pages of the book ;
and told him you would
direct him as to the number
to be printed.
I would have 1500 struck
off in the first place , and
if the printers could manage
to keep the type standing for
two months or so after the
date of publication — by which
time the probable success of the
book would be pretty well
ascertained — it would be an
advantage . If you cannot
arrange this with them , then
2000 may be struck off. I
have my little doubt about this
number being disposed of
Believe me my Dear Sir
[Y very] truly
S Smiles
J. Murray Esq
Smiles, S,
July 1859
