Boston, Dec. 27, 1877 



Dear Mr. Engelmann, 



As you will see, I have made the designated changes and am sending you 

 prints of all plates at the same time, and in fact on the thin paper and of 

 the size specified by you, I would be very happy if it ^ould come to pass 

 that the work could be completed. I understand very well that such dra^xn^s 

 must be made very carefully and should be without error, and did as well as 

 I could understand the description of the alterations. 



All of these last corrections are only on the third plate - and if 

 something eise should be found, then perhaps the printing of both plates 

 1 & II could begin. It is too bad that the thin paper is being used, the 

 work would appear to much better advantage on the thick paper. 



In conclusion I ask for an early decision in regard to the printing 

 and the size of the paper - namely if the sheets which I sent are of the 

 correct size. 



Your devoted, 

 A. Meisel 



N.B. I believe to be certain that I enclosed all of your drawirms in my 

 last letter - I cannot find the sheet you mention.
