- hand, addressed him a letter, couched in the following terms; the
general style of which letter will sufficiently evince that,
though--thanks to the manufacturer--their linen and cotton shreds may
have been very completely transmuted into paper, yet the cutters
themselves were not yet entirely out of the metamorphosing mill.
"Hon. Pierre Glendinning,
"Revered Sir,
"The fine cut, the judicious fit of your productions fill us with
amazement. The fabric is excellent--the finest broadcloth of
genius. We have just started in business. Your
pantaloons--productions, we mean--have never yet been collected.
They should be published in the Library form. The tailors--we mean
the librarians, demand it. Your fame is now in its finest nap.
Now--before the gloss is off--now is the time for the library form.
We have recently received an invoice of Chamois---- Russia
leather. The library form should be a durable form. We respectfully
offer to dress your amazing productions in the library form. If you
please, we will transmit you a sample of the cloth---- we mean a
sample-page, with a pattern of the leather. We are ready to give
you one tenth of the profits (less discount) for the privilege of
arraying your wonderful productions in the library form:--you
cashing the seamstresses'---- printer's and binder's bills on the
day of publication. An answer at your earliest convenience will
greatly oblige,--
"Sir, your most obsequious servants,
"WONDER & WEN."
"P. S.--We respectfully submit the enclosed block---- sheet, as some
earnest of our intentions to do every thing in your behalf possible to
any firm in the trade.
"N. B.--If the list does not comprise all your illustrious wardrobe----
works, we mean----, we shall exceedingly regret it. We have hunted
through all the drawers---- magazines.
