          last who loves to continually read his composition.
There are some other typographical
errors which ought to have been avoided, and 
which the proof sheets in my possession pointed
out but the journeyman printer proved himself
really unfaithful and has within a few days
been discharged for his carelessness.

I have not perhaps myself, taken
the care in my composition that I really
ought to, and consequently there are a 
few ungrammatical sentences or rather, perhaps
inelegant ones. However, my disposition to be
brief & succinct will be readly [readily] [conceived?], and 
hence the necessity of making [added: sentences] [crossed out: w] that the more
literary reader would call bad, very bad taste.

I go entirely under the opinion that,
a good work, is well done, if, very weakly
performed.

I have no objection, and indeed,
should be pleased to have my work
left at the place you designate, and 
hope that you will do me the favor of
informing your nephew of the error so that
it may be explained when noticed, and only 
then. I will send a new volume in the 
course of next month to supply its place
and will take the liberty to make that
house an agent for the work in New York.
I have now to thank you for your kindness
