I herewith send you a copy of “Inside Out”, a work just published in this city for the benefit of its Author, which you will please to accept from him. Divested of his profession, and with a dependant family, without the means of acquiring a livelihood but by the labours of his pen, he has made a trifling attempt at Authorship in the compiling of this work, with the hope in some degree of advancing his pecuniary views.

Be pleased to acknowledge the receipt of Inside Out”; and believe me to be Sir,
