PRECAUTIONS. 1 77 



that what I have written, I have carefully considered, feel- 

 ing the responsibility of a recommendation which if not 

 well founded, might expose me to reproach. I feel strong 

 partiality to the country after a residence in it of upwards 

 of 1 1 years, and so much do I like the climate, that I feel 

 the greatest repugnance to change it, unless for the impor- 

 tant consideration of education to my boys, whom I intend 

 to remove from England to America, that they may be 

 nearer to me, and pay me or I pay them, a visit during 

 the holidays, once or twice a year. I feel that by our easy 

 access to your country, the value of property, and the 

 advantages generally of a residence here, are very greatly 

 increased. Believe me to be, 



My dear sir, 



Very truly yours, 



Wm. Wemyss Anderson. 



John Bigelow, Esq.
