Ticknor & Fields and expresses her delight that they will publish her "just finished work on Switzerland and Italy". She requests that copies be forwarded "from the author" to six named persons in the United States, suggesting that the payment be deducted from the agreed sum for the American copyright. However, it does not appear that Ticknor actually published the American edition of her work (?). It was published with the imprint of "T.B. Peterson and Brothers" in Philadelphia.
