My Dr Frank—
Brown sent you some 35 drawings to-day—& one b or two by “Harris” (my imaginary “agent”) & one by myself.
I don’t like those stippled processes half as well as I thought I should, & am glad the plates are not to be made here. Pen & ink on whi plain plaaper looks much cleaner & stronger.
I have paid for the 2 or 3 plates made here (scribble wrote on them $14.60 —$14.60. & shall not have any more made. I shall leave several pic pages for your artist over there to fill up with after-thoughts, as you suggest.
