States: "This ought to make at least 40 pages - there will be 100 in all, and almost all the copy perhaps all will be ready on Monday night. / Please send on a boy to adv. Smith and tell him that he needn't be alarmed.  / Proofs back immediately.  Bradbury's people would print the whole book in an evening.  Emulate them & believe me  Yours truly".

Date and full name of recipient based on the assumption that Thackeray is possibly referring to "The Kickleburys on the Rhine by Mr. M. A. Titmarsh [pseud.]" published in 1850 by Smith, Elder, & Co. and printed by "Henry Vizetelly, Printer and Engraver, Gough Square, Fleet Street.".  See McLean D 1093.
