My race is run:
I have at length
reached the goal:
but am too much
fatigued to cross
the sea for the purpose
of running
a similar one in another
country
---page break---
Gentlemen in Administration
on
your side the writer
are no strangers to
my good wishes: but I
have nothing to solicit
It certainly would
not be worth your
while to pay such
a price with me
unless an opinion
had some how or other
obtained on your side
the water, than in
some shape or other
of mere reputed
importance, my
industry might be
made of use.
---page break---
From the first
coupled with former
conversations, I had
conceived they might
have had something
to say to me: from
the second I perceive understand
that is not the case, and
that not being the case
I have nothing to say
to them.
I have nothing to
sollicit: I have
received no commands
from Administration
and have neither
warrant nor inducement
to attempt
giving any member gentlemen
any trouble
As to any thing else
having received no
commands, I have
no answer to return.
The distinction I
stipulate for is
of a sort which
I take for granted
would hardly be conceded
for the mere purpose
of gilding the
pill of humiliation -
which a man of
in a certain sphere
must have to swallow
when he undertakes
to set up and stands on which I leave one to execute it here.

for the office
of Jailor on a small
scale. so small in
comparison of that

The mere objectsingle business
of setting up a
small single Penitentiary
House upon
a small scale is
not, nor would if
the accomplishment
of it were as certain
as it can not but
appear precarious
to call lead <add>draw</add> in such to such
a voyagea distance.
The experience of
so many years
has furnished me
abundant proof how
hopelessbootless unprofitablethe task is
to business in recuperation it it is to
have to fight attempt to up a
new plan get-hearing of improvement
to obtain the degree
of attention requisite necessary
to enable a man to
be of any use, without
some mark
of distinction such
as in virtue of
preestablished association
of ideas enable
him to culture a certain
measure of attention

would constitute
the sine qua non
in my eyes
would serve as an
earnest of the intention
