And that I may take up as little of your time as possible, I will...
Since you left this, nothing out of the common course of things has occurred. Genl Pinckney sailed yesterday morning. I have taken particular pains to know what reception your address to the people met with here; and truly declare that not a single instance of disapprobation of any part thereof has been found.

Painful as it is to me (& I assure you it is truly so) to trouble you with anything which relates to myself, knowing as I do that your time is now scarcely adequate to the discharge of the duties & avocations which are attached to your station; yet I conceive myself so forcibly impelled by several reasons (for which I beg to refer you to my letter on this subject in July last, and to which...
