line 4: My dear Sir
line 5:
line 6: Many thanks for
line 7: your offer, but I am
line 8: too busy to undertake
line 9: the task. The region
line 10: of which Hall writes
line 11: is so frequently visited
line 12: by our Whalers, that Page 2
line 1: the natives hardly
line 2: represent the habits
line 3: or tastes of pure Esqui-
line 4: -maux. His narrative
line 5: therefore is not to me
line 6: of the interest or im-
line 7: -portance that it other
line 8: -wise would have been
line 9: and I am afraid that
line 10: what he has taken forPage 3
line 1: Frobisher's Remains are
line 2: the relics left by our
line 3: Whalers. Hall however
line 4: I believe to be an
line 5: honest man, he has
line 6: aired in his conclusions
line 7: from want of infor-
line 8: -mation, not from
line 9: intention. Again thanking
line 10: your Benevolence.
line 11: yours very truly
