I received here your kind letter and the valuable present of Dr. Fothergill’s Works; for which please to accept my thankful acknowledgements. I purpose on my voyage to write the remaining notes of my life which you desire, and to send them to you on my arrival. You have done a good deed in contributing to promote science among us by your liberal donation of books to the Carlisle College. Thanks for your good wishes in favour of our country and of Your friend and servant,
