Your favor of the 23 d was recieved yesterday. my acquaintance at S t Petersburg is very limited. those who were elderly are dead; of the young, there are two persons with whom I was acquainted at Paris , who were in the early administration of the present emperor , but who have been out for some time, & on what ground, I know not. having never renewed my acquaintance with them by letter, I...
By the last post I inclosed you a letter for S t Petersbg and promised by this something for Paris . The Secretary of State’s letters will ensure every thing with Gen l Armstrong . the people of the world with whom I was formerly acquainted are all swept off the stage. my correspondents there are with literary characters chiefly, few of whom I personally know.

I send to the Enquirer this day what will pulverise his proofs of that charge, and close my notice of him. I recieved two letters from Baltimore signed...
Your favor of June 16. is recieved. altho’ I have almost universally declined embarrassing the government with sollicitations of mine on behalf of either persons or subjects, yet no rule of that kind shall stand in the way of rendering you any service I can.
