Dear Sir
Will you be good enough to have the Cyclopaedia of Biography 371 bound for me in plain half calf?
The accompanying book on the Pflanzenkeim which I was seduced into carrying away the other day turns out quite above me and suitable only to some of your botanical friends. Will you take it back, charging me for the cutting thereof whatever you please?
Yours truly,
G. H. Lewes.
Sydney Williams Esq.
