DescriptionThe Rev. Samuel J. May reports his thoughts on the subject of a publisher for Mrs. Pickard’s book on Peter Still and his family, together with his reasons for suggesting the Syracuse firm of L.W. Hall & Co.; notes that Messrs. Hall & Co. would assume the risk of publishing the book and pay her and Still each fifteen cents per copy sold; urges that certain parts of the book (Dr. Furness’ manuscripts and the images for the plates) be given to the publisher and engraver in advance of her text, to help speed the book’s publication; and notes that if “Uncle Peter” [Peter Still] and his wife came to Syracuse in the next three weeks, he would request that they stay with another of their friends, as his wife is currently ill.
