My Dear Sir:-

                                Your favor of 5th inst is at hand.  I will send the 20 copies "Our Wild Indian"

to Messr Queen & Young on Tuesday next. I am entirely out of Colored Plates, the printer not getting the last lot finished as soon as expected, owing to damp weather which has prevented the colors from drying rapidly, consequently I am behindhand for a few days. I shall have the new Ed'n ready by Tuesday. I inclose Queen & Youngs bill in this. The same has been charged to your a/c As soon as I can send you a first-class copy from this new Ed'n - I will send it on as promised. I want to send you a fine copy - one you can keep for yourself. I recd a very polite & ceremonious enquiry from the Sec of War Robt T. Lincoln a few days since asking the price of "Our Wild Indians", and what price we would make on 150. I made a special price, & a low one; but have heard nothing in reply. Thank you very much for the order you send in. If we can send from 30 to 50 copies to every post, or can work off a goodly number. I hope you make something for yourself. You ought
