Sir
Col. Patten of the post office here, was so good
as to hand me your obliging letter relating to my opin-
ion on an Insurance Case."" I hasten to acknowledge the
receipt of your favour, and to express my high satisfac-
tion at the approbation you have thought fit to bestow.
It is approbation of the only kind worth having; laud-
ari a laudato viro.
I remain with sentiments of great respect
Sir
Your obliged friend and servant
Thomas Cooper."
