My dear Irving –
Though in a hurry, / I must write to thank you for your beautiful / letter – if my book was half so beautiful I / should have no [--ss?] for it, as it is, your opinion / encourages me wonderfully, and I the more / want such a [dram?] just now, as the great / John has [come?] to the [resolution] of publishing / the First Volume immediately _ I had rather / myself have waited till the Two were ready / but his trade reasons seem so irresistible / that I have consented _ I shall appear according / =ly in the course of December, + the remainder / of the sheets must be dispatched to America / immediately __
Yours ever,
Thomas Moore
Tuesday
