Dear Mr Hinrichsen:
I think your last letter cleared the matter
and I agree that we can now conclude a contract.
and I agree that we can now conclude a contract.
There are only two things which I would like to have
modified. The one: that there should be a date mentioned
until which I have to receive the $ 500.
modified. The one: that there should be a date mentioned
until which I have to receive the $ 500.
An the second point is that I suggest you have the
engraving made here. Not only is it much less expensive,
but I am quite sure that the man, who is excellent,
will do a job worthy of Peters Edition. Besides, if
you want, I can ask him to make one page as a sample
so that you can judge it for yourself. It would also
have the great advantage that I could make the corrections
very fast. He would perhaps deliver me perhaps every
second day proof corrections, so that I would not have
so much at one time. I suggest that you reconsider this
point and especially let him make one page, (I will select
a very difficult one) as sample so that you can see how
good he is.

I am looking forward to your answer, and am with cordial

Sincerely yours,
P.S.
It might also happen that the manuscript requires ex-
planation, verbally, which I can do here by telephone,
thus avoiding unnecessary errors and corrections.
