We (my wife & I) are now
at work on Cent. VI. which
will be ready some time
the coming spring and perhaps
also Cent. VII. as I am
behind on Cent. and have
the material on hand.

I have to get them out
in the winter as during
the warmer season I have
to be busy on other matters.
I enclose a formal
receipt and with best wishes
remain very truly yours.
