REPLIES BY GEORGE STEPHENS.

I beg to encloze ðe following scraps, purposely written on slips, ðat ðe

one may be destroyed and not ðe oðer if you should þink fit so to do, and

for eaze ov printing.

Pleaze to respect my orþography--a _beginning_ to a better system--if you

can and will. Ðe types required will only be ðe Ð, ð, and Þ, þ, ov our

noble Anglo-Saxon moðer-tongue, letterz in common use almost down to ðe

time ov _Shakspeare_!

If you _will_ not be charmed, ov course you are at liberty to change it.

I have a large work in ðe press (translationz from ðe A.-Saxon) printed

entirely in ðis orþography.
