of it, I must apologise for the inaccuracies you will doubtless meet with in it . . .

the present Volume, in the Secretary of States office, as the Law points out.--As I do not expect the Work will be published
before the next week, I thought I owed it to your kindness to transmit you a Copy immediately . . .”
