WASHINGTON CRY, April 20, 1840.
Mr. Freeman Hunt.-,Sir: owe you many thanks for
the opportunities have had to read the Merchants Mag
azne and have found it in reality to be magazine and
that well replenished, of all the useful matter which tho
title would imply, and presented with fullneS6 md
clearness which delights while 1t instructs. IN
term-merchants who go between nations, whose large
operations bring many departments of knowledge, and
view of the state of the world into daily requson but
it is not the great merchant only but one Of more
merchant of the interior asowho will find this magazine
to abound with the information the pursuit or his bs
and the elevation of the mercantile character
quires. Nor is its utility at all confined to merchants but
extends to the legislator and dplomatist and all who
charged with managing the affairs of the nation For
myself have found 1t most useful to in my senate
rial abors and have been in the habit for many yers Of
carefully consulting 1t.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant
/ THOMAS II. BENTON.
