Pondering on the exception taken to the brief notice of the New England Magazine which appeared in the last issue of the Journal, and thinking that printing your magazine might possibly lead to a misunderstanding, and perhaps an unpleasantness, between my old customers (who have always treated me honorably, even kindly) and myself, much as I would otherwise like to do your job, seeing it would be of considerable pecuniary advantage to me, I have decided to think no more about it. Thanking you for your kindness,
I remain
