notable phrase
speedily we shall have two cargoes of live oak from the southward
keep me informed of what congress are doing
there are too many departments engaged in the business
good advice in future will be received
few of us could fix a plan to manage the marine affairs of this country
days are getting longer and we are collecting all our force to go on with vigor
live oak business bears so gloomy an aspect in Georgia
