1t will give me much pleasure, at all
times, to promote the Improvement and
happiness OF America; with many of
whose natives, l have long carried on .
friendly intercourse, either by cores
pondence, or in person. Among the for.
mer lhaye to enumerate General Wash
ington, and the present respectable Pre-
sident to whom am distantly related.
Among the latter, Messrs. Adams, JEFF
ferson, and Jay; and here l must ex-
press my satisfaction at seeing your USE
ful repository distinguished by some re-
centcommunic ations from " AlonticeLio."
l think it right to add, that, owing to
some peculiar circumstances, l have in
my possession, description OF the SCI
veral states Of America, drawn up by the
i" Wustrious Washington" himself. +
have'some thoughts of publishing that
most valuable and curious document,
that every true American may be able to
possess an account of bis native country,
from the pen, and sanctioned by the sig-
nature F" ef'ita greatest ornament"
With my best wishes that your exer-
tons to promote the cause Horticulture,

meet with all the success they merit,
remain, with esteem, your faithful
and obedient servant,
