Dear friend
Mr Naphlati? Hart, the Bearer, leaves in an hour, and having just called to say adieu, I scribble a few lines to tell you, I and Mrs N. are well, and that I thank you for your affectionate hieroglyphics recd. in Feby. At present I am deeply immersed in the mysteries of commerce, my brother in law and partner Dr Samson having gone to England. He will return in June, and about a month or so after I expect to have this, and as my wife wishes it, will no doubt go to England, via, the country she loves, America. Your February number was capital. Your reply to shikkorer? Jacobs has gained you many friends, and you may be sure, I was not backward in defending you against the scamp. If I owe him a grudge, it is not on personal, but national grounds, for he contrived to ruin, as far as lay in his power, the improvement in education and worship which it had cost me so many years to produce. Hebrew and the ecstatic Carolinians will h? him from his pedestal. I must conclude by wishing you Hebrew, and with kind remembrances to old friends
R?
Your's affecty
