_Philadelphia_, ----.
_Dear Sir_,--I regret that you had the trouble of addressing me twice
respecting the Review of your publication. The truth is it was only
yesterday I enjoyed the opportunity of reading it, and bearing public
testimony to its merits. I think the work might have a wider
circulation if, in the next edition, it were printed _without_ the
preface. Of your talents and other merits I have long entertained a
high opinion.
Respectfully, your faithful servant,
