undertake the work, but | have, fear
already on my hands quite as much as
can dare hope to accomplish during N,
term of life. Approaching so near thre
score and ten, prescribed as tho limit o
usefulness, as do, shall have to maxi
haste or run great risk of leaving mat

D ent 10 the wishes of many who have de
t sired to have me called again into publ

It for writing it, which have been placed il
0 my hands Or which have myself gath
