5914. NEWS, Home.—[continued].
It is unfortunate that
most people think the occurrences passing daily
under their eyes, are either known to all the
world, or not worth being known. * * *
I hope you will be so good as to continue your
friendly information. The proceedings of our
public bodies, the progress of the public mind
on interesting questions, the casualities which
happen among our private friends, and whatever
is interesting to yourself and family, will
always be anxiously received by me.—
