Oct. 26 1867

Messrs Crosby & Ainsworth

Yours of the 19 and the copy books are rec'd.  I will forward the pay in a few days.

It is not convenient for me to undertake to supply the schools beyond one little group of schools immediately about my own residence. If you should think best to take any means for a more general supply I would recommend that you print the cover "For Virginia Schools"

If you had some one to attend to it I presume a good many might be sold, and yet I do not recommend you to send a special agent, as it might cost more than it would come to. The series is [[strikethrough]]just the thing [[/strikethrough]] for our use.

Very Resp'y
