I was extreamly ill in a Fit of the Stone when your Letter was put into my hand yesterday; I was not able to attend the Society, and the laying the Letter before them, which ought to have been done, was omitted; so that I send you no Answer from them ’till after their next Meeting; and can now only give you my private Opinion and Advice, which is, that you let the Author of every Piece whom you can conveniently come at, have a Sight of the Proof Sheets of his particular Piece, that he may correct them; and when you cannot have the Advantage of the Author’s Corrections, that you procure the Assistance of some other Person skilled in the Subject to correct such Pieces for you; it being the Duty of a Printer, as well as for his Interest and Reputation, to perform his Work correctly. And as some of the Authors may wish to have a few Copies of their particular Pieces  ? ’d up separately to give to their Friends and Correspondents, it may be for your Advantage to let them know at the Same time you send them the Proof Sheets, on what Terms you will supply the Number they may think fit to order. With great Esteem, I am, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant
