line 4: My dear Sir
line 5: I could not reply to
line 6: your kind letter before I
line 7: have been so very busy
line 8: I have been wishing
line 9: to write the little volume
line 10: you wish for, but I fear
line 11: I must give it up for
line 12: this Christmas, hoping to
line 13: have it ready for next
line 14: Christmas, if we are spared
line 15: so long. It will surely

line 2: thought which may be
line 3: the subject of the volume
line 4: This I trust I shall be
line 5: able to do, and to do
line 6: you justice, which might
line 7: not be the case with a
line 8: hurried volume.

line 10: been frequently asked
line 11: for by Clergymen who
line 12: have written to me
line 13: about it. It has been
line 14: proposed (and the Reverend
line 15: Mr Dallas was one who

line 5: journal for every day in
line 6: the year, if ruled pages &c
line 7: &c, but I send you a copy
line 8: of which pray pay the
line 9: carriage & charge it to me
line 10: and pray write, if you
line 11: will undertake it. It should
line 12: be annually published
line 13: and cost about two shillings.

line 1: a very kind letter about it and
line 2: a copy should be sent to every
