A literary friend has just applied to me for some of the letters of a lately deceased celebrated person, which were addressed to me. I have (since I wrote to you) refused them ; de- claring it to be my principle never to give up private letters to publication, expressing my belief that this publishing of letters tends to weaken and destroy private confidence. While I was writing this letter, suddenly it flashed across my mind, that I could not afterwards, with any consistency, put my name to a ...preface to the Canada let- ters I was recommending to you ; for, though the lady and her friends consent to the publication, yet still what becomes of my principle about the tendency to destroy private confidence, which I believe would be the result of this practice ?

In August of 1825 Edgeworthstown received the great " known," as he was often called in later years.
