JOSEPH Y. MILLER, ESQ.

This is a very good MS.--forcible, neat, legible, and devoid of

superfluous ornament. Some of the words are run together. The writing

slopes considerably. It is too uniform to be picturesque. The lines

are at equal distances, and a broad margin is on the left of the page.

The chirography is as good at the conclusion as at the commencement of

the letter--a rare quality in MSS.--and evincing _indefatigability_ of

temperament.
