Summary
Enclosing writing he has done for a sketch in response to his request; asking that he return it if he does not like it, but that if it is to be printed, he wants it printed "just as it is; & be kind enough to let me see a proof sheet. And see that the printer does not cut it into paragraphs, which those men with strange audacity, are want to do."
