'Sir I very much regret that your note has so long remained unanswered. It was put aside among some answered letters, and so escaped me. I recollect very shortly after I received your two papers, writing you a note in which I ventured to say that I did not think the idea of a Surgeon?s Diary at all a promising one after the Physician?s; and that I did not consider your articles adapted to the Miscellany. I therefore declined these with many thanks for your preference.'
