APPENDIX 



when my beloved Wife and Son Victor were quite 

 well. — My Publication was also going on quite 

 well; but alas! The present commercial and mone- 

 tary revolution has caused me to lose a good number 

 of the Subscribers through whose Support, I did 

 hope to realize a few Thousand Dollars to comfort 

 and supply with the wants of our later days my 

 Beloved Wife and my poor Self. Trusting however 

 and for ever in that Providence, and in the care of 

 Mm who supports us all, until called to his Bosom, 

 I hope to see yet a less clouded Sky than the one 

 hovering over our beloved Country at present, and 

 be permitted to end our lives in peaceful enjoyment 

 of health, and security of mind. 



Offer my kindest, and most fervent wishes to your 



Dear Family towards their health and Happiness, 



Miss Lucy Included and believe me to be truly and 



for life your most truly thankful, grateful and sincere 



Friend and Servant

Please to send word to my young friend Thomas 

 M. Brewer M.D.? ^ Winter Street, that I have writ- 

 ten to him this day. Have you received one hundred 

 Dollars from our Friend I. P. Davis ^ on account of

 Birds of America.
