LETTER 499. TO MR. MURRAY.

"Pisa, July 6. 1822.

"I return you the revise. I have softened the part to which Gifford

objected, and changed the name of Michael to Raphael, who was an

angel of gentler sympathies. By the way, recollect to alter Michael

to _Raphael_ in the _scene_ itself throughout, for I have only had

time to do so in the list of the dramatis personæ, and _scratch out

all the pencil-marks_, to avoid puzzling the printers. I have given

the '_Vision of Quevedo Redivivus_' to John Hunt, which will

relieve you from a dilemma. He must publish it at his _own_ risk,

as it is at his own desire. Give him the _corrected_ copy which

Mr. Kinnaird had, as it is mitigated partly, and also the preface.

"Yours," &c.
