Dear Sir

Yours of the 14th or 16th Octr. is but just
received. Down to this time, I have been waiting
in expectation of receiving a letter either from you
or from your visitor, in consequence of that letter
of mine, which I hope and presume you received
from him. Him I we have heard of in ltters to other
friends. Taking for granted that some letter of his or
yours must have miscarried, I was on the
point of writing as I do now, when this letter of
your's came. According to him, you were to come
here not before next Spring twelvemonth; business
which he mentioned detaining you: this of your's
brings better news; giving us reason to hope that
you will be here by the next Spring. In my above No: upon second
thoughts, and comparison of dates, it can not be so. In my above-mentioned
letter, I gave you only a faint anticipation
of the success of Preuves here: now I can
tell you, that it is the subject of universal admiration.
They say it is still better got up than any
of your former publications. The Westminster
Review was, if I misrecollect not, among the topics
on which you were instructed to examine our my
friend. No. 1. comes out for certain the 1st. of the
year: No. 2 will as certainly contain an article
on Preuves, by a person who, I am told, is all admiration
of it, and writes con amore, and who himself,
though as yet he has appeared but little as a public
writer, is highly spoken of. We are not without
hopes of getting mention made of it as early as the
first of January, in a sheet which, under some
such term as the Recommendation sheet, we propose
to make a regular accompaniment to it the Westminster Review.
