Sir

I return the Proof of the article on the Sinking Fund which you sent me; I wish it was more worthy of insertion in your valuable publication.

The table at the end has little to do with the subject—it contains some information and may be omitted or inserted as you think best.2

I will be obliged to you for 2 or 3 separate copies of the article.

I am Sir with great esteem Faithfully Yours

David Ricardo
