The unlucky displacement of your letter of Mar 3 has been the cause of
delay in my answer. altho’ I have very generally withdrawn from
subscribing to or reading periodical publications from the love of
rest which age produces, yet I willingly subscribe to the journal you
propose from a confidence that the talent with which it will be edited
will entitle it to attention among the things of select reading for
which alone I have time now left. be so good as to send it by mail,
and the receipt of the 1st number will be considered as announcing
that the work is commenced and the subscription money for a year shall
be forwarded. Accept the assurance of my great esteem and respect.
