Wolff, George D., Norristown, Pennsylvania, to Henry F. Brownson, Detroit, Michigan, 1889 October 5

Identifier: CBRH III-3-c

Scope and Contents

Wolff sends in two separate envelopes full sets of proof-slips of his article complete. Proof-slips 4 and 5 of those sent yesterday should be thrown aside in as much as since sending he inserted new matter. The article requires 60 minutes to read as he would read it to a public assembly. He supposes it is entirely too long. The committee must decide that, if they should approve it generally. He has received another letter from the Baltimore Bureau of the United Press, stating that they have made arrangements with Brownson about the 300 copies. He suggests that since he has incurred the expense of having his paper put into type, which is still standing, additional expense would be saved-if it meets the committee's approval-by having the 300 copies struck off here. The type is now in galleys awaiting the proof-revision. The Norristown Herald printing house tells him that it will make very little difference as to cost whether they run it through the press in the form of book pages or as it now stands. In regard to actual cost he knows nothing except that the cost of type-setting with them is 30¢ per 1000 inches-in Philadelphia it is 40¢ and they intend to charge him little more than he actual cost of labor and material. He wishes to hear from Brownson as to the above and also whether a decision as to his paper can be reached before the regular meeting of the committee on the 15th. The type could not remain undistributed for so long a time. P.S.: he sees blunders in the proof affect the sense but has no time now to correct them. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 2 pp. 8 vo.
