Summary
Apologizing that he is "...obliged to refuse your request. I have already refused a similar one from Latta - of whose work I have a very high opinion - on the ground that I am giving all my influence whatever it may be to Mackenzie;" commenting on a proof of a book he received and which he hopes to finish reading before he has to return it.
