New york 30th Octobr 1821.
My dear sir,
As you have in the course of your political life contributed largely to the internal improvement of the United States; I have thought it would be interesting to you to possess the Documents showing the great and persevering efforts, in progress in this state, in relation to this subject; and which promise a speedy and happy result—Under this impression I now do myself the pleasure to transmit to you herewith, a “Compilation of public Documents relating to the New york Canals, to connect the Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean, with an Introduction” and accompanied with Maps—which I beg you will have the goodness to accept—The Introduction is said to be the work of Charles G. Haines Esq.
Theodorus Bailey.
