He encloses $15 for six subscriptions to the Journal, giving the names of the subscribers. He was formerly a subscriber to the Journal, but he lost all of his cherished associations during the late War. A few days ago Mr. G W. Hagan gave Leake a copy of the Journal, and all the old familiarity returned. He is determined to do all he can to promote its circulation in New Haven and hopes to add to the small club of 6 already subscribing. He asks McMaster's advice concerning an article sent to a state paper. He included sufficient postage for the return of the article in case it was not used, and has asked for its return twice, as it has not appeared in print. The editor evidently refuses to return the manuscript, and Leake wishes to know what obligation, if any, the editor is under. His refusal to publish is due to prejudice, because the article was of benefit to a religious order and the paper is edited by a clerical gentleman. He does not write this for publication, but merely asks that McMaster reply through the Journal, he asks that he does not mention the location or name of the inquiry, for it would only cause hard feelings, something Leake wishes to avoid with the clergyman. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
