 and, I shall only have to communicate the result, which I shall do 

 very faithfully, and with as much clearness as I am able. In the 

 mean while, I shall be glad to afford any opportunity, to any 

 persons who may think it worth while to come to Hyde Park, of 

 seeing how I proceed. I have just now (i?th April) planted out 

 my Ruta Baga, Cabbages, Mangel Wurzel, Onions, Parsnips, 

 &c., for seed. I shall begin my earth-burning in about fifteen days. 

 In short, being convinced, that I am able to communicate very 

 valuable improvements ; and not knowing how short, or how 

 long, my stay in America may be, I wish very much to leave behind 

 me whatever of good I am able, in retuin for the protection, which 

 America has afforded me against the fangs of the Boroughmongers 

 of England ; to which country, however, I always bear affection, 

 which I cannot feel towards any other in the same degree, and the 

 prosperity and honour of which I shall, I hope, never cease to 

 prefer before the gratification of all private pleasures and 

 emoluments.
