Summary
Telling Herbert that they [The Banyan Press] are prepared to print the Diatom [Lindley Williams Hubbell's play, "The Birth of the Diatom: A Christmas Play"] saying "we can print a 100 copies of it, title-page plus six pages of text, in 10-point Brodoni ... on Rives (the all-rag Arches used for the Persephone) for $70"; updating Herbert on the proposed timeline for printing the play: "If all this is congenial, we can print the play in the next week or two"; questioning the necessity of a copyright for the play; commenting on a translation made by Dudley Fitts.
