Some time after receiving your letter dated in december, I wrote to E.J. Cole, of Baltimore, to forward the Journals you had deposited with him; but nothing further has been heard of them. I mentioned to Dr. Chapman, that as no agent had been appointed for this place, he might consider me as one: but finding myself totally unacquainted with such business, I have concluded it would be better to select a more suitable person. To the agent you may appoint in this city I will give the subscription in my possession, and continue to exert myself for the success of the work. respectfully yr obdt.
