I have received your Letter of ye 23d of January, & am disposed to
take Measures for compliance with your Request. I suppose that I can
furnish you with some signatures, which may be embraced in your
design; but, as it will require considerable examination, to
distinguish between interesting Letters of former correspondents, &
others which I can have no particular Reason to retain, I must defer
ye Work, until I have less of pressing Business on my Hands than at
present.
