shall be entirely satisfied. I hope, at least, that you will think my assistance of sufficient value to entitle me to receive the "Gazette," as it comes out.
On such conditions I will send to the publishers of your [work in th]e course of the year, the number of poems you men[tion. In] 4 the mean time you will permit me to express the hope that your undertaking may be successful. I have no doubt that it will be so; the demand for such things is increasing, and what is of more consequence they are getting into better hands.
I am Sir
Yr. obt. humble Servt.
WM. C. BRYANT.
