MVB to Jesse Hoyt, 23 April 1827
COLUMBIA, S. Carolina
April 23, 1827.
My Dear Sir:
When I left Washington, it was my intention to have been back by this time: but the extreme hospitality of the Southrons, has rendered it absolutely impossible. We shall leave here on Wednesday morning, and after stopping a few days at Raleigh, ———, and Richmond, make the best of our way home. I have looked anxiously into the marriage and deaths for your name, but have not yet seen it in either. You will see my remarks on the Colonial Bill. I wish you would ask the Editor of the Advocate to republish them—and if the Major wishes to present his readers with a concise and pernicious view of that subject, AND IS NOT APPREHENSIVE THAT HE WOULD INJURE HIS FRIEND MR. CLINTON, he might do the same thing.
In haste,
Yours, sincerely,
M. V. BUREN.
