not worry too much about the charge for author's alter-
ations. We have no means of knowing as to what the cost
will be until after we receive the printer's invoice, but
you will find us eminently fair in this as in all other
transactions.

In so far as is concerned your indication of the
point of insertion of the illustrations, you can forget
about it because, as mentioned in my recent letter, we
have already done so. I have also explained to the printer
how he should proceed, and we feel quite confident that
when the page proofs arrive, you will agree that the printer
has placed the illustration as close to the corresponding
text as it will be possible to do and still preserve a
pleasing appearance.

ft have also noted your comments regarding exhibits
100-105 inclusive end will proceed immediately to make new
illustrations in which the basket will be included. I am
quite gratified that these are the only ones on which you
think it necessary to make new cuts, and I think that you
will agree that this "error" was quite an excusable one on
our part because it did not seem to us that it was necessary
to include the basket in these particular illustrations.

With regard to exhibits that consist of two views,
I believe that, for the sake of consistency, we will in-
clude in the legend, information as to whether the view is
"front", "rear", or “outside”, or "inside" even though this
may be obvious in some cases from the illustration itself.

i am also glad to tell you that the original
photographs ,listed in your letter as missing, were not
missing, and I believe that you were mislead by the fact
that in a few instances you received two cut dummies, some
of which went out to you without the photographs, because,
as I believe it was explained at the time, we were not
quite satisfied with the illustrations. When we had the
engravings improved we sent new cut dummies to which were
attached the photographs. All of these have now been re-
turned to us.
