Notes: "The following is a public letter. It is very properly addressed to the governor, and through him to the legislature: by this channel it would have come most regularly to the eye of the whole people. It is not known to the publishers why it has not been already printed for the use of the public;--whether it is only delayed, or intended to be entirely withheld. But a copy, which was sent from Washington, after the original, to a private friend, has been happily obtained for the press. ..."--To the reader, dated, Boston, March 9th, 1808, p. [2]. Pickering's letter is dated Feb. 16, 1808.
