LETTER 561

CHARLES LAMB TO EDWARD MOXON

[No date. Feb., 1833.]

My dear M.—I send you the last proof—not of my friendship— pray see to the finish.

I think you will see the necessity of adding those words after
"Preface"—and "Preface" should be in the "contents-table"—

I take for granted you approve the title. I do thoroughly— Perhaps if you advertise it in full, as it now stands, the title page might have simply the Last Essays of Elia, to keep out any notion of its being a second vol.—

Well, I wish us luck heartily for your sake who have smarted by me.—
