Excerpt from First Report on the Agriculture of Massachusetts, 1837 I am glad, even in the most humble form, to contribute to that large amount of good, which the Commonwealth is deriving from your patriotic services. I am particularly happy, Sir, that in any public service my name should be associated with yours; from considerations of honor to myself, and not less, from the sentiments of high personal regard with which I have the pleasure to subscribe myself.
