    THOMAS HARRISON M'CALLA, M. D. OF CHARLESTON,*South-Carolina. Much respected Sir, IT affords me the greatest satisfaction in being able, thus publicly, to declare those real sentiments of friendship and respect, which I have hitherto and ever shall entertain, for your person. To these, and even more than I am capa- ble of expressing, I conceive yeu entitled, in the most emi- nent degree ; not merely on account of your attention towards me, in a private point of view, but more especially for the par- ticular concern which you so uniformly displayed, in promot- ing the accomplishment of my medical pursuits, while under your tuition. Being now prepared to undertake the duties of a profession, of all others, the most important and arduous in its nature, permit me to assure you, that, in so doing, it shall be upon principles similar to your own ; the success of which, through means of your goodness, I have had abundant oppor- tunities of witnessing. Should I be as fortunate in applying them, as yourself, my labours, 1 am confident, will be amply rewarded. That you may long continue to merit the honors attached to your station, and that the happiness and prosperity of yourself and family, may continually increase, is the un- feigned wish of Your sincere friend and Pupil, THE AUTHOR.
