Autograph Letter Signed "B Corney" to an unnamed publisher.

Two pages, 12mo, good condition, blank bifolium sl. damaged. "I have got out to day for the first time, and hope soon to be more fit for work. I see no objection to the advertisment - but it might be as well to leave the subsequent editions - without all - as you cannot wish to appear to make my allusion to [Pitts?] Ed | Though I send you only scraps, I read Spencer Anecdotes by Singer in a day - not choosing to trust to the Index, though Allan Cunningham had assistance from his son, and writes well as to style he has made many random [assertions?]. I shall make a point of seeing you early in the week." A note is added in the hand of the recipient, having asterisked the word "all" in the text: "Mr Ramsey, pleasse to omit the word all", perhaps followed by initials.
