Dear Frank—
The pictures we sent you a day or two ago must be much more reduced than we stipulated—reduce them another the 35 pictures sent you now occupy 15 pages (& ( of space. This won’t do; they must occupy only half of that. Use your judgment in the reduction, leaving pictures large which ought to be large, & reducing unimportant ones, (like silhouettes,) to very small dimensions. Use your own judgment.
Ys Truly
