The decrease of the fever in the City has induced me to return with Mrs. M. to it, with a view to place her in a situation that would justify me in leaving her for a while.

I propose therefore to set out with little delay for Washington. Perhaps I may reach Washington by the last of the Week. I have nothing to add but the respectful attachment with which I remain yrs.
