My Dear Uncle,
Your letter of the 12th Instant has been
received. It is a subject of satisfaction for me that my intention
to be admitted in March should meet with your approval. After
that time I will with pleasure replace Fred

You will therefore please consider me as willing & desirous
to come down and take his place sometime during the earlier

kindness in obtaining the Intelligencer for me but I regret
that I was so inconsiderate as to call your attention to so

I will hereafter advise you when I have
