Newcustle-under ^ Ltyme y Sir , ^ pri * 12 , 1823 . 1 AM eoncernea to fyid / by a second communication from your very respectable correspondent , JEueipi * T * p . 100 , ] that my animadversions [ XVH * 751 ] on his letter [ XVH . 677 ] should
have led him to suppose that I felt myself hint at his remarks , on what I have written , id ydutvaluable work , on the moral and religions instruction of the Negro Slaves in the West ladies . I n&ust , therefore * beg to assure him , that I never imagined ne had the
slightest intention of wounding' my feelings , much less of questioning my veracity ; and that it has been a standing rule with nlei , ever sincfe I read Mason on Self Knowledge , ftever to 1
take offtenee without beingpreviously satisfied that offence wad actually intended . After this , 1 trust , he wiH readily believe , th&t hpweve # unhappily I may have expressed myself in a former epistle , I was reaMy gratified , rather than otherwise ^ witkhis friendly
queries . My opinions of * the withering influence of Negro-Slavery may possibly appear somewhat peculiar ; if they are erroh ^ DUsj &iy bxAy wish i& to have them corrected . Tbe subject
