Description
Acknowledges receipt of his letter of the 16th inst.; cannot attend the Senate at present, owing to his ill health; a full representation is doubtless to be wished for, especially for the discussion of such important questions as the currency; hopes to attend by the time the gentlemen can arrive from the Eastern Shore; they must be indulgent to his old age.
