Work will injure the sale of your or Mr. Wheaton's
Reports - On
the contrary, I think they will be more in demand as their more
valuable contents shall by my means be made more known. All
Booksellers say 'digests' promote the sale of original works - My
Works will be a 'digest' of the facts of the Cases and the opinions of
the Court - no more - I beg you will not consider this as in-
tended to extract from you any observations on my plan - I
assure you I am desirous to have our relations upon this matter
on the grounds they rest in connection with your letter of the 18th July.
Mr Robert Donaldson
N[ew] York.
Sir,
In reply to your letter of the 25th I have
forwarded you a copy of my correspondence with
Judge Cranch, to which I refer for my views and
determinations upon the matters, which are the
subject of your communication -
I am your obedient Servant.
Philad[elphi]a Sept 26th 1828.
Rich[ard] Peters.
