Physical Description
A. L. S. 2 pp. Fo
Description
In his last letter had sent the protested bill on Baltimore which he hopes has been received and settled by the drawer; remarks upon the interesting news from Europe; the German Empire seems tottering on its base, Bonaparte had entered Vienna without opposition; hopes that out of the crush of empires some results beneficial to mankind may arise; the President's message gives universal satisfaction; rejoices at the prospect of peace with Great Britain and Spain. In a postscript acknowledges the receipt of a barrel of potatoes, and sends by the Schooner Hulda and Anna a barrel of Newtown point oysters.
