Description
He Is glad to learn that Baldwin will come on the first Monday of September; he has not been able to get away because of admiralty business; the senate has now appointed him a commissioner of bankrupts, a laborious office with not one cent of pay; he envies Baldwin his rural employments, and feels no great pleasure at the prospect of work, though he will not flinch from his share.
