By the way, a note to Mr. B.F., above: I should hope that the coppersmiths of Pennsylvania were of sufficient quality that you would not have had to send all the way to New England for the foil. Perhaps you had partaken of your next-door neighbor's bounty to such an extent, that you forgot for the moment that you had in fact left Boston as a young man, and settled in Philadelphia?

Aloha,
Mark
