  letter from A Subscriber
Kendal Chronicle, 28 June 1823:-
TO THE EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE.
In reading Mr. Hodgson's address in your paper of last week, it gave me much pleasure to see that he fully contradicted the report of his having intended to relinquish his undertaking in favour of other persons. The motives of those who circulated such a report, are obvious; and it is by no means honourable to the parties from whom it emanated. As a subscriber, to Mr. Hodgson's map, I feel an interest, not only in its completion, but that it be executed in a superior manner. A plan projected from actual mensuration by the chain, must always leave far behind the productions of any eye-draft system, whatever may be its title;- and the work to which the attention of an individual is solely devoted, may fairly be presumed to excel that which is merely of a general and a wholesale series of publications.
A SUBSCRIBER,
To Hodgson's Map of Westmorland.
