MVB to [Perley] Keyes, 17 January 1824
Dear Sir,
The article Phocion is written by the Presidnts son in law. When such sentiments are fulminated from the Palace you cannot be surprised that there should be apostacy among the Subjects. There are however thank god sound men enough to save the party if they are well sustained from the north.
Truly yours
M.V.Buren
