Dear Sir:- 
The copy of the Manual with corrections as suggested in 
your recent letter, came to h8.nd yesterday and the changes in the 
plates will be made at once-When you have decided as regards the 
further corrections and additions of which you wrote, we shall be 
glad to give them also, immediate attention. 
Your plan to push the work upon the Field, Forrest and Garden 
Botany, so as to have it ready in ample time for the botany work of 
1892, is an excellent one, and in order to be sure to have it ready 
for that season, it would be necessary to begin the work of type-set- 
ting early next summer, and we hope that Mr. Barnes will be able to 
put the work in shape for that purpose. 
The size of the book should be, as you indicate, about 500 pages. 
Even forms run 480, 504, and 528 pages, so that we should aim to 
average about 500. 
Yours truly, 
AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY,
