345—to John Murray
(Nov. 12, 1813. With first proof of
Bride of Abydos
correct.)
Dear Sir,—I have looked over—corrected—and added—
all
of which you may do too—at least
certainly
the
two
first. There is more MS.
within
. Let me know tomorrow at your leisure
how
and
when
we shall proceed! It looks better than I thought at first.
Look over
again. I suspect some omissions on my part and on the printers'.
Yours ever,
B.
Always print "een" "even." I utterly abhor "een"—if it must be contracted, be it "ev'n."
