Strana 11 - ... there are laws here for the gradual abolition of slavery, which neither of the two states above mentioned have at present, but which nothing is more certain than that they must have, and at a period not remote.
Strana 30 - SIR : It is with inexpressible grief that I have to announce to you the death of the great and good General Washington.
Strana 39 - It is a happy circumstance in human affairs, that evils which are not cured in one way will cure themselves in some other. We are now under the first impression of the news of the King's flight from Paris, and his re-capture. It would be unfortunate were it in the power of any one man to defeat the issue of so beautiful a revolution. I hope and trust it is not, and that, for the good of suffering humanity all over the earth, that revolution will be established and spread through the whole world.
Strana 75 - And prudent caution needful to avert Impending evil, equally require That the whole people should be taught and trained. So shall licentiousness and black resolve Be rooted out, and virtuous habits take Their place ; and genuine piety descend, Like an inheritance, from age to age.

An attempt, as you will perceive by the enclosed outlines of a plan, is making to establish a state society in Pennsylvania for agricultural improvements. If it succeeds, it will be a step in the ladder ; at present, it is too much in embryo to decide upon the result.
Strana 61 - I regret that it is not in my power at present to afford you the full information you require respecting the steam-boats, as used in the United States.
Strana 25 - Our crop of Wheat this year, from the best information I have been able to obtain, will be found very short, owing to three causes; an uncommon drought last autumn, a severe winter with but little snow to protect it, and which is still more to be regretted, to what with us is denominated the Hessian fly, which has spread devastation, more or less, in all quarters ; nor has the later wheat escaped the rust.
Strana 45 - ... hope, that through your agency, we may be able to remove every thing inauspicious to a cordial friendship between this country and the one in which you are stationed, — a friendship dictated by too many considerations not to be felt by the wise and the dispassionate of both nations. It is therefore with the sincerest pleasure I have observed, on the part of the British Government, various manifestations of just and friendly disposition towards us. We wish to cultivate peace and friendship with...
