Abstract
Has received his letters; would have attended the Senate at the beginning of the sessions, but the county court has been sitting until last Saturday, and he could not leave; a violent cold prevents him from setting out immediately for Annapolis, but if he can get a boat he will come in a few days; thinks it hard that out of such a number of members a senate could not be made up without obliging him to risk his health.
