My dear Sir,

I entreat you to believe that I feel truly obliged by your kind intentions towards me, and that I entertain the most unfeigned respect for your tasteful talents. My house is completely filled with workpeople at this time, and I have only an office to transact business in, and yesterday I was wholly occupied or I should have done myself the pleasure of seeing you. If it would not suit me to engage in the publication of your present work, it is only because I do not see that scope in the nature of it which would enable me to make those satisfactory accounts between us, without which I really feel no satisfaction in undertaking to publish
W. IRVING’S ‘SKETCH BOOK.’129
for you; but I will do all that I can to promote their circulation, and shall be most ready to attend to any future plan of yours. With much regard,

I remain, dear Sir,
Your faithful Servant,
John Murray.
