Dear Sir/

I take the liberty of forwarding to you a Copy of my treatise on Vaccination, which, with many thanks for your very polite attention to my repeated requests, I beg your acceptance of; I sincerely wish it were more worthy of your notice; yet doubtless, though it contains many errors, I hope it may serve as a Pioneer in opening the Way for more valuable communications from our own Countrymen.

With sincere wishes for your health & prosperity—I am, Dear Sir Yrs. respectfully
