INDEX TO FLORA.—I enclose sample to show you the style in whioh we pro¬ 
pose to set the type. Immedi ately on receipt of your approval re 
-in pa fee rapid tirie on this job us it is to be machine-set. I 
fancy you will ■wont the Initial U A M . in italic and that fill tne ti?— es 
ot species will be in italic, though they are not so marked on the 
copy. This specimen proof is set to a slightly narrower measure than 
the book as the lines are nearly all short, and the long stretch from 
the nma to the number of the page does not add to its beauty. If you 
have no objection we will make the measure narrower still—say l inch 
more. 
With reference to this work, Joseph, your clerk, instructed 
n -y '’a- is j J -b; ^ 
us verbally to go ahead, billing it at the same rate as for the Flora. 
AGRICULTURAL B'UjLETIH.—I trust you found all this in order and that the . 
• suggestions I have mx de meet with your approval, or that falling to do 
so, you will let me know wherein they are unsatisfactory. I think we 
c&n make the enterprise mutually satisfactory, and you need have no 
fear at all about our being prompt. 
Yours sincerely
