the package may be held in the Detroit Custom House and that you may be troubled to call there personally, to clear the same. Mr Keppel however assures me that this is not at all likely - and that he will write you today full particulars as how to clear them without paying any duty. He tells me that they are entitled to free entry because being over 20 years old and printed - I.E. the same as books over 20 years old.

I [[obscured]] that you will not be caused any trouble, but dont feel as sure on this point as does Mr Keppel, still, as it is entirely a familiar matter to him he may be right.
The last three items: the copper plates he will take with him to N.Y. and forward from there to you.
Will you kindly remit to Mr Keppels N.Y. office on receipt of the prints, paying the fuel bill the plates to come later - Kindly let Kennedy have the memorandums for cataloguing. With best regards, Very sincerely yours
