To you Sir doth the groaning republicans over the World look up to for relief, now do we expect under your administration that this Country will be an asylum for the oppressed of all nations, and to your adminstration we have a right to look for a stop being put to the venal system of speculation that has disgraced our Country and destroyed the Virtue of our Citizens;

but in obtaining those grand Objects I feel for you, knowing as I well do the power of our Political enemies, but trusting in that god that has brought us thus far through, I with confidence recommend you Dr Sir to his keeping and his direction, and pray that you may be supported through the ardious undertaking and preserved to the People,—

Trusting I shall be excused for thus troubling you I remain

Dear Sir, your sincere friend & huml Servt
