the publication of the Acts of the United States in our paper,—we
would observe, that we shall be
perfectly satisfied with such compensation as the Secretary of
State shall deem reasonable. If, however, it is necessary to
mention a price, we are willing to receive payment either by the
session, or by the printed page of the Acts—If paid by the page,
we ask one dollar; if by the session one hundred dollars.
We are, Sir,
Your most ob.t Serv.ts
