Boston, August ?5, 1*77 



Dear Doctor Engelmanni 



With todays mail I am sending you two prints of each of your three plates, 

 which have been corrected according to the returned revised sample prints, - 

 Mr. Roetter desired that I should not imme^iately put the text on the stone, 

 but should first mark out a plate with pencil, so that you could better judge 

 how it will appear. - Therefor on the small plate (Plate II) I made the text 

 as I usually make it for Professor Agassiz, only somewhat larger. If this does 

 not comply with your wishes it would be well if you could indicate approximately 

 how you would like to have it; also I think it is better that I mention the price 

 of the work, for text, printing and paper, as follows: 



Lettering 3 plates a % 3 , #9. 

 100 copies of Plate I printing t L .

The light paper is somewhat ch^aper (?5°/°) but is not so good for this work 

 because it does not take the color so well from the stone. As you will see on 

 plate I, Mr. Roetter made a remark that he wishes, as I believe, instead of 

 P. Roetter in Cap. Del. P. Roetter on stone from nature . Also I would like 

 to have your permission to add my name (Print» by A # Meisel). 



Respectfully, 



Your servant 

 A. Meisel
