Summary
Saying "I find that I have no copy of Notes and Selections bound together, but the separate volume of notes gives perhaps a better idea of the length & style of the articles. I shall look forward with great eagerness to the results of your mission to Sir Thomas Thornton & to your own decision regarding the Pope;" adding, in a postscript, "I need not say that while very short articles meet our needs there is no superior limit of length."
