Hond Sir
I am to acknowledge the receipt of your
favour of the 2d Instant, and to express my obligation
to your learned friends, (whoever they are) for
their promises of assistance, but cannot thank them
by name, 'till you or they, think fit they shall be no
longer incog. Mr Jefferson as usual discourages me
as much as he can, and whenever we meet (which
is not very often) expresses great anxiety least
you should be angry with him if I don't succeed; I should not
have mention'd this had it not been his particular
desire. I met him t'other day in Walking in the Cloisters,
he asked me whether I had thought of a Subject:
I said yes, and told him what it was: he did not seem
