363—to John Murray
Tuesday evening, Nov. 30, 1813.
Dear Sir,—For the sake of correctness, particularly in an Errata page, the alteration of the couplet I have just sent (half an hour ago) must take place, in spite of delay or cancel; let me see the
proof
early to-morrow. I found out
murmur
to be a neuter
verb
, and have been obliged to alter the line so as to make it a substantive, thus:
The deepest murmur of this life shall be
No sigh for Safety, but a prayer for thee!
Don't send the copies to the
country
till this is all right.
Yours,
B.
