You have made another brave bargain for me with the Philadelphia
people; to all of which I can say nothing but _"Euge! Papae!"_
It seems to me strange, in the present state of Copyright, how my
sanction or the contrary can be worth L50 to any American
Bookseller; but so it is, to all appearance; let it be so,

distinguish themselves by the beauty of their Editions; a poor
Author does not go abroad among his friends in dirty paper, full
of misprints, under their guidance; this is as handsome an item
of the business as any. As to the Portrait too, I will be as
"amiable" as heart could wish; truly it will be worth my while
to take a little pains that the kind Philadelphia Editors do once
for all get a faithful Portrait of me, since they are about it,
and so prevent counterfeits from getting into circulation.
