I recieved from you, before you left England, a letter inclosing one from the Prince of Parma . As I learnt soon after that you were shortly to return to America, I concluded to join my acknolegements of it with my congratulations on your arrival; and both have been delayed by a blameable spirit of procrastination for ever suggesting to our indolence that we need not do to-day what may be done...
