Dr sir,
I have already written to you by this mail, & at the same time sent you a pamphlet. I now send your no of the Repository.—
I hope it will be convenient & agreeable to you to give me, if it is only a dozen lines, your opinion of the paper, typography, engravings & plan & importance of the Repository.—I have already mentioned that your opinion with that of Mr Madison & others, are to appear with the second half volume which is now preparing for the press & which will contain with others your life & portrait.—
Joseph Delaplaine.
I refer you to my letter of this mail for several particulars.
