Agreeably to your request I have Suppressed the conclusion of my Oration, but I cannot bear to think of sending it out of our State, or to Europe, without connecting it with your name. I have therefore taken the liberty of inscribing it to you, by a simple dedication, of which the enclosed is a copy. And as you have never in the course of our long Acquaintance refused me a single favor, I must earnestly insist upon your adding to my great and numerous Obligations to you, the permission which I now solicit, to send my last, as I did my first publication into the world, under the patronage of your name. With the greatest respect I have the honor to be honoured and dear Sir your sincere friend and ever grateful humble Servant
