I beg leave respectfully to enclose you a prospectus of the Washington Republican, & Congressional examiner.1 The first division of this title has been sanctioned, always, by the composition of our political parties; but for the last an apology must be sought in the extraordinary character which has marked the doings of the U.S. Congress during the last two or three years.

I avail myself of the occasion to assure you of my sincere attachment to you, & to your administr[a]tion, and to beg the favor of you to present my remembrance to Mrs. Madison.
