398Letter Nr. 84Paris, September 17, 1834The Honorable Voivode is probably wondering why he was not receivedany further sheets from me since the last mailing. The fact is that, in spite ofconstant reminders, I received the fifteenth sheet only today.Our ―mettre en pages‖ 342 has also been assigned to work onWrotnowski’s 343 Memoirs and to a great extent this draws him away from ourwork.Moreover, after correcting Your Honor’s two recent ―final emendations‖,and spending more than one day doing so, he went on such a binge that he couldnot possibly continue. It was only yesterday and today that another compositor 344corrected the fifteenth sheet.I have already made the first corrections in the sixteenth and seventeenthsheets; but these corrections have not yet been made by the compositors (they aresetting up the eighteenth). However, I expect to send them to Your Honor within aweek for his final emendations. I include with this letter a clean copy of sheetsthirteen and fourteen.I remain respectfully, Your Honor’s most humble servant,BogdanJańskiP.S. Comrade Kraiński sends along the collection ―Brukowiec‖, and the firstnumber of the Tygodnik. 345342 The type-setter making corrections for printing.343 Felix Wrotnowski (1805-1871) - From the region of Wilno, where he finished his legal studies;wrote for the ―Dziennik Wileński‖; served as an officer under Chłapowski; in exile, he was editorof the ―Dziennik Narodowy‖ (an organ for Czartoryski) and ―Wiadomości Polskie‖.
