This, my dear Friend, is all I can at present recollect on the
Subject. You will see by it, that the Opinion of this mischievous
Effect from Lead is at least above Sixty Years old; and you will
observe with Concern how long a useful Truth may be known and exist,
before it is generally receiv'd and practis'd on.
I am, ever, yours most affectionately,
"INVENTION AND IMPROVEMENT ARE PROLIFIC"
_To Rev. John Lathrop_
REVEREND SIR, Philad'a, May 31, 1788.
I received your obliging Favour of the 6th Inst by Mr.
Hilliard, with whose Conversation I was much pleased, and would have
been glad to have had more of it, if he could have spar'd it to me;
but the short time of his stay has prevented. You need make no
apology for introducing any of your friends to me. I consider it as
doing me Honour, as well as giving me Pleasure.
I thank you for the pamphlet of the Humane Society. In return
please to accept one of the same kind, which was published while I
resided in France. If your Society have not hitherto seen it, it may
possibly afford them useful Hints.
