DEAR SIR wish to express 20 you the graf
lhcatlon derived on receiving the July num-
Der of the Merchants Magazine and CONNER
cial Review, from viewing your portrait in the
beginning. and from reading your address to
your friends at the end of it, When we feel
under obligations to those who have contrib
uted to our information and amusement, we
are naturally DESTROYS to possess knowledge
of them, OF their appearance, of the features
of their cOuntenance, and of the character and
habits of their mind. which we can ACQUIRE.
You have placed your numerous readers lat

under those obligations and the number of
your valuable work now before me, in some
degree, satisfies the desire to which l have al
luded. l have become quite familiar with the
Magazine and Review, and have no hesitation
in expressing my humble opinion that it is EN-.
inently entitled to the public regard and sup
port. 1t collects and arranges, in good order
a large amount of valuable statistical an,
other information highly useful, not only t,
the merchant, but to the statesman to the cul
tivator of the earth, to the manufacturer, t
the mariner, in short, to oil classes of the br
siness and reading community
Entertaining this opinion, 1 am glad that,
has been, and hope that it may continue to be.

sHrances of my esteem and regard, I am truly
your friend and obedient servant.
