Letter of thanks to the Subscribers. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I cannot find words of sufficient efficacy wherewith to express my gratitude for your kind Patronage and Support. Indeed, when I began at first to solicit names, I imagined that I should only have to grace my List with those of the poor, despised, lower class of people. But how great was my surprise, when, instead of having the alone signatures of such despised, low-born persons, like myself, I had the honour of several of the names of those who are styled Quality, in short, some of the first in the country! Indeed, as above said, words are wanting to express, and the pen inadequate to describe, the gratitude of my heart! however, I do, and can with conscience pure, say this, that I shall ever retain, in my humble breast, a grateful and lively sense of their kindness, even to the latest period of my existence, (which may not be very far distant) in patronizing a poor, and hitherto despised, butcher's boy, who presumes to beg, that they will honor him, with inscribing himself, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your ever Grateful, and Obt.
