Mr. Gates--I request OF you the favor to
inform those respectable friends who have
interested themselves in the success of the
:. Farmers Magazines" that the patronage
proffered is not such as will justify its pub

: American Farmer" an Agriculture paper
published weekly by John S. Skinner of
Baltimore. An acquaintance with this work
will prevent any regret being experienced
at the non-appearance of mine.
