"Sept. 9. 1813.
"I write to you from Mr. Murray's, and I may say, from Murray, who,
if you are not predisposed in favour of any other publisher, would
be happy to treat with you, at a fitting time, for your work. I can
safely recommend him as fair, liberal, and attentive, and
certainly, in point of reputation, he stands among the first of
'the trade.' I am sure he would do you justice. I have written to
you so much lately, that you will be glad to see so little now.
"Ever," &c. &c.
