For the detailed account of your observations on the husbandry of 

 these United States, and your reflections thereon, I feel myself much 

 obliged, and shall at all times be thankful for any suggestions on 

 agricultural subjects, which you may find leisure and inclination to 

 favor me with, as the remainder of my life, which in the common course 

 of things, now in my sixty-sixth year, cannot be of long continuance, 

 will be devoted wholly to rural and agricultural pursuits. 



For the trouble you took in going to Hull, to see if any of the 

 emigrants, who were on the point of saiJing from thence to America, 

 would answer my purposes as tenants; andl-4'4rr your very kind and friend- 

 ly offer of rendering me services, I pray you to accept my sincere 

 thanks, and an assurance of the esteem and regard with which I am. 

 Sir, &c. £., ^
