testimonial procured for me
& sent on a former occasion

forwarded to me for examination.

them as good as new, I have
taken the liberty to forward
them again, with some additional 
[added: lines] as will be shown by
the dates. Many of them I had
not seen before, & among them
an excellent one from yourself,
which, notwithstanding

board of trustees, I trust you
will still allow me to use.

I called at the house of Dr.
Knox with the letter you
