"The comments of Philolethes interest me, and strike me as important. When I first read them, I was determined to print them in The Atlantic, but I find a complication, owing to another paper which I ordered from abroad, and to which I feel compelled to give precedence. I am, therefore, complying with the instructions of the author, and am sending the manuscript back to you."

(Philolethes' [BR's] comments are unidentified. Cf. "Philalethes" [sic; "lover of truth"] in B&R C18.06.)
