My dear Cam,
I have yours & am pleased with its contents. My amounts from the Country are favourable. I have spoken to many of our friends on the subject of the “Courier” & Mr Croswell will in due time & proper form do the needful. They send me the Daily, dont forget to consult this. I am literally run down with papers & will have to take the benefit of the act. Do me the favour also to call at the Enquirer office & ask them with all kindness in tender considerations of my heavy burthens to change my Daily into their Country paper. I have within the week had to subscribe for five newspapers & I now take a thousand.
In haste yours sincerely
MVBuren
