DEAR SIR received your favor, and the copy
of your address on the culture of silk, for which
accept my thanks. 1t contains many valuable
suggestions. have long entertained the opinion
that the culture and manufacture of silk may be
hcnefcally Incorporated among the objects of our
national industry. They require only patience,
perseverance, and careful attention to minute
details. There is no just cause for the apprehen-
sion, entertained by some, that we may multi
ply the proceeds of our domestic industry as to
leave no subjects OF exchange in foreign COM
merce. In any conceivable state of civilized So
ciety, there will always be- in the infinite variety
of the productions of different soils and climates,
and varied human industry, and in the tastes,
caprices and wants of men, ample scope for
foreign commerce. OF this truth, there are many
obvious examples In the European nations.


am, with great respect, your obedient servant,
