I hope we may continue to be favored from time to time with notices enquiries and what not from your pen and I shall be greatly obliged for any hints or suggestions for the improvement of the paper and the extension of its utility that you may have to make.3 Dr. Hooker has promised me his support and I am very anxious to secure an influential class of contributors and correspondents—
Pray excuse me for troubling you and believe me | faithfully yrs | Maxwell. T. Masters
