MS: Yale. Endorsed: July 1. 1852. Hitherto unpublished.
Dear Sara
I know your hair will stand on end at the typographical errors in the latter half of the German article and in several cases in the later sheet of the Review. 190 Don't impute them to my carelessness. The printers were so hurried the last day that no revise of Greg's article 191 or of the two last sheets of the Review was seen -- and that tiresome Mrs. Sinnett 192 pretends to correct her proof and leaves it as you see. I have been stamping with rage -- nay, swearing this morning at the sight of these things and the misspelling in the title-page. 193 I think the English article very unsatisfactory this time. Syme wrote it. I can't make out what opinions he has -- he writes first from one point of view then from another. It is a relief to grumble to you.
Pollian.
