Our prospects on this question are better than they have been for many years. If you do your duty in the West there cannot be a doubt of our entire success. Have the goodness to write me all the news you have. Make my best respects to Mrs B.

MVB to Charles Butler, 17 July 1827

I owe you a thousand thanks for your kind solicitude respecting myself & matters which concern me deeply & many apoligies for not having sooner acknowledged it. Hoping soon to see you & being at the moment very much pressed I shall defer until that time what I would otherwise say.

MVB to Charles Butler, 23 August 1827

I arrived here this evening from Oswego & will visit you on Saturday if you are at <illegible> & would prefer to at Rochester after remaining a short time with you, hoping to be favoured with your company there.

We will go by Lyons or Canandaigua as you decide

I approve the mode of separate letters any way in which you can bring properly before the present incumbent the wishes & feelings of the West. I had a full conversation with <Bowman>. Perhaps it may be as well not to refer particularly to the fourth District but to speak of the subject more generally. The importance of <taking> out of the mouths of our enemies the argument founded... Continue Reading

The enclosed should have been sooner returned. I rcd. some days since a letter from Mr <Meigher> informing me that some of my friends wished for an opportunity to pay their respects to me on my way down. I have informed them him that should be at Geneva tomorrow & will stay over Sunday. I shall take lodgings at the Hotel, & will go to Ghent and take a family dinner with you on... Continue Reading

MVB to Charles Butler, 8 September 1828

Circumstances have hitherto prevented me from answering your two last. Business first. I have confered with your brother and my friend Mr Bowne upon the subject of your building. We all think that your plan is a good one & that at a proper time you ought to carry it into effect. The present moment however seems to be very inauspicious. Twelve months ago money was dog-cheap & could be got... Continue Reading
