Mr. Neal's MS. is exceedingly illegible, and very careless. It is
necessary to read one half his epistle and guess at the balance. The
capitals and long letters, like those of Mr. Palfrey, extend far above
and below the line, while the small letters are generally nothing but
dots and scratches. Many of the words are run together--so that what
is actually a sentence is frequently mistaken for a single word. One
might suppose Mr. Neal's mind (from his penmanship) to be bold,
excessively active, energetic, and irregular. Paper very common, and
wafered.
