George Borrow and His Circle

CHAPTER XVII
13/18

They think that the plan of submitting copies in letters of gold to the inspection of the highest personages in China should probably be deferred till the translation has been thus revised.

We hope that this resolution will be satisfactory to you; but the Committee, not wishing to prescribe a narrower limit than such as is strictly necessary, have directed me to say, that should the expense of an edition of five hundred copies of the Homily in Manchu exceed L12, they will still be willing to meet it, but not beyond the sum of L15.
Should you print this edition be pleased to furnish us with twenty-five copies, and send twenty-five copies at the least to Rev.Dr.Morrison, at Canton, if you have the means of doing so; if not, we should wish to receive fifty copies, that _we_ may send twenty-five to Canton.

In this case you will be at liberty to draw a bill upon us for the money, within the limits specified above, in such manner as is most convenient.

Possibly Mr.and Mrs.Biller may be able to assist you in this matter.
Believe me, dear Sir, yours most sincerely, C.R.

PRITCHETT.
Mr.G.Borrow.
I am not aware whether I am addressing a clergyman or a layman, and therefore shall direct as above.
