In my 3d. No. I mean to take a short view of the State of the Nation. The public approbation that has been given to the Administration by citizens, and state legislators in different parts of the Union, will naturally enter into the prospect.

You will understand me to mean no more than a mere index, without any detail; in order to enable me to perceive at a glance the number of addresses, & the locality of the addressers. If I could receive it by to-morrow or the next day, it would be very acceptable. I am, Sir, with high respect, Yours,
