Chapter CV: Letter 499: To Mr. Murray

"Pisa, July 6. 1822.

"I return you the revise. I have softened the part to which Gifford
objected, and changed the name of Michael to Raphael, who was an
angel of gentler sympathies. By the way, recollect to alter Michael
to _Raphael_ in the _scene_ itself throughout, for I have only had
time to do so in the list of the dramatis personæ, and _scratch out
all the pencil-marks_, to avoid puzzling the printers. I have given
the '_Vision of Quevedo Redivivus_' to John Hunt, which will
relieve you from a dilemma. He must publish it at his _own_ risk,
as it is at his own desire. Give him the _corrected_ copy which
Mr. Kinnaird had, as it is mitigated partly, and also the preface.

"Yours," &c.
