deposit with the Senate as the standard by which I judge,
and am willing to be judged. Though I should be opposed to
its being printed, yet it may be done perhaps without my
consent; and in that case I should be sorry indeed should it
go out with errors that a Tyro should not have committed.
And yet it is precisely those to which I am most exposed.
I am less afraid as to important matters, because for them
I have printed authorities; but it is those small matters
of daily practice, which twenty years ago were familiar to
me, but have in that time escaped my memory. I hope under
these circumstances you will pardon the trouble I propose
to you in the enclosed paper. I am not pressed in time,
so that your leisure will be sufficient for me. Accept
the salutations of grateful and sincere friendship and
attachment, and many prayers for your health and happiness
from, Dear Sir,
Yours affectionately.

[4] In a case of division of the question, and
a decision against striking out, I advance, doubtingly,
the opinion here expressed. I find no authority either
way; and I know it may be viewed under a different aspect.
It may be thought, that having decided separately not to
strike out the passage, the same question for striking
out cannot be put over again, though with a view to a
different insertion. Still I think it more reasonable and
convenient to consider the striking out and insertion as
forming one proposition; but should readily yield to any
evidence that the contrary is the practice in Parliament.
