My dear friends
Would "the Bible as Poetry" suit you for paper of Feb: 3d or 10th?1 The price is $15—I would like 50 copies of the W W
head with motto &c about same size as your issue, printed on heavier paper, with
the "Critic" imprint left off—will pay (for paper & print) 4 cents a
copy—$2.00—If put in type send proof of "Bible" here early in
week—
Walt Whitman
