Although your favour of March 28th accompanying the "History of the Bank" has been so long on hand, the continued inroads on my health, have not permitted me even yet to do more than glance at the Contents of the volume. From that I perceive that it comprizes information which must be extensively acceptable; particuarly to those engaged in political & historical researches. I sincerly wish therefore that you may be well recompenced for the labourious task you have executed. For the copy of the work, which I owe to your kindness I tender you my thanks with my respects & good wishes
