i send you the result of the brass stamp. it seems to be an entire success. send that washington stock to mr. perkins and he will transfer it to me on the books. mr. perkins is going to call a meeting of the company. ask slote & co to transfer to me the copy-right of the little book called “punch brothers punch[.]” you need lay no stress upon the matter because i shall use those sketches in my new book whether they are willing or not since i only lent them to the firm, and required no remuneration of any sort; i also want them to hand over the plates of that book to you to be destroyed. i wish you would attend to this immediately.
