For the following Address, — the last prepared by the lamented au- 

 thor, — the publishers are indebted to the kindness of his son, Jesse 

 Buel, Esq., and the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies of New 

 Haven. The subjoined letter will show the interest with which the 

 reading of the Address was listened to by a large and respectable assem- 

 bly, and the regret felt by them that the author should have been pre- 

 vented, by sickness, from delivering it himself 



New Havkn, Sept. 26, 1839. 



To Jessk Buel, Esq. — Dear Sir, We have the pleasure of ten- 

 dering to you the thanks of the Agricultural and Horticultu- 

 ral Societies of New Haven, and of many other citizens, for your 

 excellent Address, which was impressively read yesterday to a large 

 assembly, both from the city and the neighboring towns. We are 

 instructed to say to you, that the discourse was heard with great satisfac- 

 tion and delight, and that, by a unanimous vote, a copy is requested 

 for publication. 



The sentiment was warmly expressed, that a copy ought to be placed 

 in every family in the State, and the only regret manifested by the au- 

 dience, was, that the respected author should be arrested by sickness in 

 his journey, and that they were thus deprived of listening to one whose 

 bright and successful example, gave such decisive weight to his pre- 

 cepts of wisdom and of real patriotism. It is made the duty of the 

 Committee also to inform Judge Buel, that the Hon. Simeon Bald- 

 win, Henry Whitney, and James Brewster, Esqrs., were 

 appointed agents to promote the circulation of the ' Cultivator,' and to 

 recommend that useful publication to the public favor, and to a more 

 extensive and efficient patronage in this State. 



The Committee beg leave to express their personal satisfaction in the 

 performance of the pleasing duty assigned them, and to add their 

 warmest good wishes for the restoration to health, and for a long course 

 of usefulness, to one who has proved himself a real benefactor to his 

 country. 



On behalf of the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies, and of 

 many other citizens. 



S. Baldwin,
