My dear Deane:-- 



Coulter has forwarded your letter for answer. As to length 

 of paper, ten pages is all right, though rather more than we were al- 

 lowing. The half-tone portrait will be ready, and we shall reserve 10 

 pages in the February number. I regret that we couAd not print it in 

 the January number, which however is over full as it is. 



As to separates I hardly know what to say. We should like to 

 furnish not only Mrs.Bebb,but you, with all you want, free. But I do ' 

 not see how we can afford it. The plate will cost us about $12 and 

 125 separates would cost us $8.75 more. If we were making money off 

 the Gazette I should be entirely willing,but as it is a "tight squeak" 

 to make it pay for itself we are simply obliged to cut the corners as 

 close as possible, and ask our friends to share the labors as well as 

 the glory with us. I think we shall have to ask Mrs.Bebb to pay for 

 7 the pleasure of sending copies of your notice to her friends. w*e 

 can send her 25 separates with plate and cover for $1.75. One hun- 

 dred (25 free) will cost you $5. 25 (and us $1.75). That we think is as 

 near as we can come to carrying out our generous feelings in dollars 

 ^jg*and cents; though we will add to that our grateful acknowledgements 



for the preparation of the biography.
