lengthy. Carters I never thought as much of as
some. But of all this we shall have time to
confer. Letters of reference to almost all classes
of men I think highly important. It will be a great
facility to the Traveller in obtaining knowledge
of the improvements and Curiosities of
the Countries though which we travel
