EBB requests more copies of her Poems: “Finding that I still require six more copies, I must trouble you again to direct them to be sent to me. And I take this opportunity of supplying a past omission, by expressing to you my satisfaction with the exterior of getting up of the work. They are very pretty looking volumes, and ‘Those who prize a book’s poor paper’ [1] will be sure to honour their outsides.”
