39Q CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
JAY TO SIR JOHN SINCLAIR.
Bedford, Westchester County, N. Y.,
Dear Sir : 8th August, 1816.
I have received the papers which you were so
obliging as to send me. Accept my thanks for them.
Gratitude is due to those who employ their time and
talents in promoting the common welfare. Your
exertions to improve agriculture, and render it more
productive, are known and acknowledged. The paper on " mildew in wheat," I have sent to New York
to be published. The multitude of interesting facts
which have been collected during the last twenty
years doubtless furnish materials for a comprehensive
system of husbandry; such a work, ably executed,
would be useful.
Credit is also due to your endeavours to make
known and excite attention to the means which conduce to health and longevity. The proposed edition
of the code on these subjects, in one octavo volume,
will be better calculated for general use and extensive circulation, than the larger work from which it is
to be extracted. I hope it will soon be finished and
find its way to this country. It must be an agreeable
reflection to you, that you have been " diligent in
well-doing."
My health has for years been declining, and my age
reminds me that the re-establishment of it is not to be
expected. What you have written of the flesh-brush
will induce me to use it more frequently. It can do no
harm and may do good, and that is no inconsiderable
recommendation.
