Dear Sir —
Your favour of the 8 instant is before me — was happy in finding the Notes had got safely to hand, and that the Letter John was in train to its destination — I have noted what you say relative to Posts — in future a more certain mode of package shall insure their safe arrival — I will see and converse with Higg on the subject of your News papers, and will endeavour to see that in future they go forward —
The Secretary of War leaves this next week to be absent two Months the Secretary of the Treasury is also gone — My services will be acceptable —
yours very sincerely
