          It is at present in Mr. Bachman's hands, but we 
 have not yet been able to persuade Miss Elliott 
 to allow it to go from the City.  Mr. Elliott at the 
 time of his death had nearly ready for the 
 press the [crossed out: second][added: first] volume of [crossed out: the] a second edition 
 of his work, arranged on the natural system. 
 I would be glad if they would place it in your 
 hands.


 Send on if you please additional copies
 for the new subscribers and send them by 
 the Union line directed to the care of W.A. Caldwell 
 and Sons, Chas. [Charleston].


 Yours very truly


 Lewis R. Gibbes.
