He declares his desire for &quot;a 6/ net uniform Edition&quot;, wondering if The Duet could be bound to fit into it. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Letter (extracts) ==<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> as the book was admittedly experimental and open to comparative failure.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> I wish you would tell me if you have been out of pocket over the whole business and if so how much.
