My Dear Mr. Murray


It will be
better for Mr
Clowes to send
the sheets first
to me as I find
that Mr. Binney
is often puzzled
much by what





my correction makes
quite clear. It will
sa[ve] him much
trouble. He wont
believe that this
type is not to
be used the expense
will be so
great. He likes
the type much
Is it really to
be  recom
posed again ?

I have now sent
over to him two
corrected pieces

Caffres. I have
changed my mind
on the word, &
now make them
uniform . — Send
for No. IX when
you need it — And
let me have some
of the red ink man's
work that I
may correct in
manuscript. I
have others for
him.

I want a small
Portuguese and
English dictionary

one with clear
type which is
very good. I have
forgot the name

in size than this
note paper considerably

A good likeness
of a bushwoman
with a bundle
of ostrich egg
shells exists in
a collection at
the Duchess of
Sutherland's and





may have it
if you should
like it. Of course
you would
require to go with
me and see it
first
