MVB to [Levi] Woodbury, [c10 March 1828]
My dear Sir
I am sorry to be under the necessity of asking to have the Revolutionary officers Bill postponed until the day after tomorrow. I have suffered extremely for a violent attack of Influenza which taking me in a reduced state has made me extremely feeble. I could not go out to day without in some small degree hazarding my life & Since it is found how little gratitude they have excited by periling theirs, good sense alone will induce them not to wish me to do so.
Yours truly
M.V.Buren
