seventeen hundred, twelve dollars and sixty cents - This sum is not easily accumulated - an attention to politicks is the present rage, and by a letter received from Richmond in Virginia, I am informed that "the expansive prairie which I have lavished upon the President" (I select the words of the Writer) will prevent the sale of my book in that part of the Country!!!! Yet time, and perseverance, will conduct me through this vexatious labyrinth, and if I am finally enabled to discharge the bills presented by my Printer's [unclear] - I shall be comparatively happy. You will have the goodness to make my respectful Compliments acceptable to your Lady and family, and, with augmenting esteem, I take leave to repeat, that I am Sir, Your frequently obliged, and very humble servant. I. Sargent Murray

Colonel Samuel Hodgdon Philadelphia
