JOSEPH Y. Z. MILLER, Esq.
Mr. Fay writes a passable hand. There is a good deal of spirit—and some force. His paper has a clean appearance, and he is scrupulously attentive to his margin. The MS. however, has an air of swagger about it. There are too many dashes—and the tails of the long letters are too long. [Mr. Messenger thinks I am right—that Mr. F. shouldn't try to cut a dash—and that all his tales are too long. The swagger he says is respectable, and indicates a superfluity of thought.]
