Dear Professor:
Replying to yours of the 22nd inst. we are please to say that Gray's New Manual will be in stock February 1st, if not before, when we will be ready to supply them to the trade and we shall send you some copies at the earliest possible date.
In regard to our issuing an edition on thin paper with narrow margin you have, we think, been misinformed. We find there is no demand for an edition gotten up in that way sufficient to warrant our making them. We have throroughly considered the matter our making them. We have thoroughly considered the matter and would be pleased to accomodate all parties by having the book as each may wish it, but having tried the experiment on another book we have had it fully demonstrated that it does not pay and have therefore concluded to have but one edition as here tofore. We have had orders for a few copies bound in oilcloth for use in the laboratory or the field, and are binding a few of the books in that way now, but we do not recommend them for any other than hard usage, where the appearance and binding of the book are totally disregarded. Should you desire any for your use bound in this way we shall be pleased to furnish them on the same terms as the regular book. Hoping this will be sat isfactory, we remain,
Yours truly, signature
