of 4 or 5 sheets, notwithstanding the
difficulty of it which I well know must be
extreme. If he could produce no more than
4, still that could be rapid work. Suppose

I believe would be about the mark that would
be 13 weeks from just 3 calendar months
from we will say last Monday Novr 20th:
at that rate it would be done here by Feb:
20. He thinks the printing will take 2 months
The plan then will be to send it at twice:
the 1st half 6 weeks hence; so that when the
last half gets to Leipsic there will be but
one month's work to do, By a route which
he mentioned, he says it will get thither
in two days, after the post. say then that
it gets there at the end of 3 weeks by from the
20 of Feb.y that brings it to the 13th of March:
Add the month; that brings it to the 13th
of April by which time the printing is to
be finished. Now my idea is to make Hamburgh
the entrepot, and from thence to get it
sent to the four or perhaps five capital places
where it is to go: viz; Sto; Pet: Ber: Vi: &

to your friend at Hamburgh without loss of time
desiring a speedy answer; and let me know
immediately in the first place when you have
written in the 2d place when you have received
an answer. I will take care you may be
sure to send a copy of the English; and
at the same time I may send copies of the Eng.
for ach of the Germ. I think they should go
together, that any person who understands their
origin may see what justice has been done
