LERwicK, Shetland 18th Aug, 1s49.
Dear Sir-I have TO apologize to you for The
delay which has occurred in replying to your
r l,.pa tact u, q
some delay in my receiving il, owing 10 my ABB
ssDce from London, and i! has been placed since
in the hands of several friends, so that till now
hsvO not been able 10 accomplish answering
it. There ia oay weekly post BY steamer
from these remote Islands 10 Edinburg, which
has besn another cause of delay. regret that
in return for the noble sentiment y'u expires,
aud the labor and ingenuity you have bestowed
upon your aerial machine, have 80 little 10
reply which can be satisfactory TO you, for it is
! but a poor return 10 express my admiration oil
your generous feelings of humanity, while
ackno Wedge myself unable to help you with
thu pccuniary means Of bringing your plans into
effect.
Believe me, 1t ia mol from want OF trust N
you as a man OF honor and cs an American CT
tizen that say this. In both of those capaci'ies
YOU havs the utmost claim upon my confidence
and regard-for your letter alone-wiihoul
any reference TO the high and dslingu shed
names you have given TO me amongst your
counlrymen, is sufficient 10 justify this, and !
can truly assure you that if | had the means Of
enabling you 10 construct your machine and
give il effect, | should not hesitate 10 dc
so, even though by so doing, should be sup
posed by many men OF science, much better
able to judge Of such matters than myself &c
be wasting money On an imPractlcaole caime

even though my dear husbands lie be the
preaious object in view, having already engaged
and pledged myself 10 The utmost amount oil

rous efforts in the CAUSE, and invested or spent
a considerable sum in various ~cys in objects
OF like tendency. Under these circumstan-
ces, could scarcely be justified in ayailiDS

lull written description, much as | should like
to possess il, and indeed my ignorance Of me-
chancs end my utter Incompetence 10 judge oil
The merits of your plan By my own powers,
would oblige mo to ask you in such case to
allow me TO get assisted in understanding IT by
some friend, 10 whose secrecy and honor . ha
entire confidence. beg again TO assure you
of the extremely grateful sense entertain oil
your generous sympatnics and noble aspra'
tons. aud am, dear sir, yours, truly and obliged,
