Respected Sir, Your two letters with the books are received; 2 I have gone over the corrections in the history of Redemption in Welsh with Mr. Richard S. Jones,

I wish you would ascertain this. I think we shall take your advice & not print any more of the old edition of our Pilgrim's Progress; & if you have no knowledge of a new & better edition than the new edition you have just read & returned, I think we had better recast our plates from that edition. Please write us on this point. Mr. K will wish? your receipts to be retained as a voucher.
