To J.B.
Just as I was sealing up the whole sheet to send to Petersbourg to be forwarded
from thence to you came a man sent to me by the Governor of Catherineberg with
a large packet of letters ad containing yours of the 30th of Jan.y another of 26th Feb.y
and my father's of 27th of Feb.y Yours of the for contain the much wished for
"Experimenting". Anderson's agricultural paper "Div." Destrac." and scra[ps of Reviews.
Your reproaches to me for writing so seldom affect me at present to such a
degree that they can not fail of producing a greater degree of punctuality in that respect.
can you believe that every day & often in the day I regret this negligence of
mine and yet that I cannot sit down to write and draw my attention
from other things to that but now & then just as the post is going out?
Thus it is that I am always in a hurry and what that my chief
letters are filled as it were with excuses for not writing.
