I received on the 26 th of last month your favor of the 14 th of August , and have had great pleasure in attending to the commissions which it entrusted to me. Law books being very costly, Thomas ’s edition of Coke Littleton is set down at £4.4, though but three volumes. Rapins history, in fifteen, may be had for £2.12. It is therefore my intention to send you for the present, only these two...
Your life will never cease to be useful to your country. In spite of yourself, in spite of your years, you will always belong to it. The incident, from alluding to which I could not refrain in my letter of February, has been followed up by another scarcely of less interest, and which perhaps may one day produce effects still more worthy to be noted. I mean, Sir, the address to the cadets,...
The last number of the Edinburgh Review having just come out, I have great pleasure, whilst making up my despatches for the October packet, in sending it to you. It may probably be the means of putting you in possession of it rather sooner than you would otherwise see it, and I know the interest you will take in casting your eye over the article on Godwin’s work. These great northern criticks,...
Your favor of the 21st of April reached me a few days ago, and I have great pleasure in sending you herewith, a copy of Hones new testament, which I hope will be in time for the return of the packet. I have no account of the price, it having been just left at my house without a bill. It is but a trifle, and can be thought of at a future day. There is no other account between us. I have also to...
I wrote on the 14 th of March , mentioning the circumstances under which I had purchased the books, and now it gives me pleasure to say, that they have been shipped on board the ship Henry Clay , Thomas Potts master, which sailed from this port a few days ago, for Richmond . By the accidental omission of our consul to inform me of the sailing of the ship, until after she had gone, this letter...

Your favor of the fourth of December came safely to hand, and with it the letter for Mr Joy, and one for Miss Wright, both of which have been delivered. Mr Smith into whose hands I put the latter, informs me that there was no difficulty in forwarding it to its destination. I have to beg, dear Sir, that you will without scruple commit to my care whatever letters you may have occasion to write...
I have heretofore acknowledged, by a line , your much-esteemed favor of the 20 th of October , since which that of the 27 th of December has got to hand. The latter enclosed a letter for Mr Roscoe and one for Mrs Cosway , both of which I was happy to be the means of forwarding. The residence of Mrs Cosway was found out without difficulty. The list of books , I have had great pleasure in...
Since I read in the newspapers the address which you delivered in November to the convention of Massachusetts, as President of that body, the scene has been so often before my eyes, that I can no longer remain silent. As a political incident, its character is memorable. If I could forget the scene of general Washington surrendering up his sword at Annapolis, I should say that it was the finest...
I hasten to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 20 th of October , enclosing a bill of exchange on drawn by Joseph Marx and son , for 40 pounds sterling. It got to hand this day. The list of books enclosed , it will afford me very great satisfaction to procure in the best manner in my power. I shall hope for the pleasure of writing to you again respecting them, and beg permission to...
