WASHINGTON CRY, April 20, 1s49.
MI Freeman Hunt--Sir: owe you many thanks for
the opportunities have had to read the Merchants Mag
azine, and have found in reality to be magazine ana
that well replenished OF all the useful matter which the
title would imply, and presented with fullness and
clearness which delights while it nsructs It is in fact
merchants magazine in the large acceptaon of the
term-merchants who go between nations, whose large
operations bring departments of knowledge and
view of the state of the world into daily requon But
is not the great merchant only but the of more
modest but nevertheless of most useful operationsthe
merchant of the interior asowho will find this
to abound with the information the pursuit of his bust
and the elevation of the mercantile character re-
quires. Nor is its utility at all confined to merchants but
extends to the legislator and dplomatst and to all who
myself have found it most useful to in my senate
rial abors and have been in the habit many years Of
carefully consulting 1t.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant
THOMAS H. BENTON.
