I have not been able to make as full a report as I could have 

 wished. I endeavored to obtain the assistance of some of our 

 friends who have more leisure to devote to the subject, but failing 

 to do so, send such as my own time would permit me to do. As 

 to Kingsbury, I furnish such information as I could obtain from 

 our friends residing in that town.
