MEssRs. EDlTons: In reply TO an article
in your paper Of The 9th instant, signed
"P4'rick Henry," accusing me of having mis-
represented names, &C., it is only necessary 10

phical errors, caused, doubtless, by the hurried
manner in which my COMMUNICATIONS are
sometimes written, and that said errors were
noticed, and a correction requested by me in a
letter which you accidentally overlooked.
will eudeavor in future TO put into practice the
suggestion Of Patrick Henry" by writing
names in a more ineligible manner, and if
Measurements Of facts should be unintenton-
ally made, that gentleman will receive my
thanks, and doubtless yours, also, for setting
me right.
