Dear Sir/
I enclose $5 which you will please credit me with. I cannot omit the opportunity to express my humble approbation of your course with respect to the wise Dr I trust you receive more satis-factory assurances of the confidence reposed in you by all the community. I coincide precisely with your views which if I understand them correctly, are, that many improvements may be made in our forms by a duly & properly constituted body, but for any man to lop off here, another there, and a thin elsewhere, there can be no limit & the tree would eventually be left not only without fruit but void of branches & finally the trunk & root would disappear; combat such result you do your duty only, go on with the good work you will finally reap the reward. I wish you to insert in your cover the card I annex & let me know what it will cost pr annum
I am
your friend
Joseph Abraham
