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.--
