of 4 or 5 sheets, notwithstanding the

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 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

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
