Dear Sir,
I took the liberty some time ago to address you on the Subject of a young Relative of mine, who was on the point of proceeding to Bonn, to profit of the Instruction at your celebrated and Excellent University. Since then Circumstances have occurred to render it unlikely that he will pursue that Intention: I have therefore only to make my apologies for any trouble I may have occasioned you. Will you allow me the profit of the opportunity which has offered, to beg you to accept a copy of these letters I have lately addressed to my old friend, the [2] Earl of Elgin on the Expediency of adopting the Greek in preference to the Gothic Style of Architecture for the new Home of Parliament now building in this metropolis? And who to present the other Copy in my name to the Library of Your University.
Accept My dear Sir, the assurances of Regard & Esteem with which I have the honor to be Your very obedient humble Servant,
WRHamilton
