As long as I have confidence in the motives of my friends, (which is eminently the case in respect to yourself), they need not fear any thing from the frankness of their suggestions.
I am really very busy, & must be permitted to kill two birds with one stone. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to gratify the "young Mens Institute" but I cannot consistently do so.
I have received with much satisfaction, your letter communicating to me, by the direction of a Democratic Convention, held in the Ninth Ward of the city of New York, a copy of its proceedings, in which the conduct of Mr. Tyler in placing his veto on the Fiscal Bank Bill, is highly approved, and the repeal of the Independent Treasury system decidedly condemned.

I owe you many thanks for your obliging communications, as well as apologies for not having sooner acknowledged them.
No one I assure can be more sensible of the Utility of your institution, or more sincerely desirious for its success than myself; and I feel highly honored by the application you have been instructed to make to me by its members.
Will you have to goodness to select the paper for me mentioned in the enclosed memorandum of Messrs. P. &. F Man. You will see by the memorandum the reason for haste. After you have made the selections Messrs P & F.
I have recd. your check for the balance of the Pew & beg you to accept my sincere thanks for your friendly attention in the matter. I have not to my knowledge ever had a certificate or evidence of the transfer of the Pew to me. If when I get settled I will search my papers but have no idea of finding it.
Sir Joseph de Courcy Laffan, who has been introduced to me as an English gentleman of great respectability; and professing much personal merit, proposes to spend a few days at Washington during the Extra Session. He visits us with liberal friendly feelings, and is sincerely desirous of understanding our Country and its institutions in their true character.
I am fearful that I spoke so indifferently about the $800 as to induce you to believe it altogether unimportant whether I recd. it or not.
Mr Henry will not go to Newyork & it would be extremely inconvenient for me to go. The Chancellor will hear us at any time after his return in Vacation & I hope you will not fail to write me by return mail that you consent to this arrangement.
Enclosed is a letter from the President to Mr Bow it was with reluctance that ^he^ consented to write it. For really considering all the Circumstances which attend this transaction it is on his part an act of condescension on his part to attempt to explain to them at all. Your situation, the unexpected success with which you have managed a subject which was on...
Enclosed is a Letter from the President who I presume explains all to you. Whatever pretensions there now may be to the contrary by some who wish to <will> us <asleep> there is no doubt of their Intentions as to you it is alledged that you are not a resident of the middle district, that your house is locked up &c.
I wrote last evening to our friend the Sheriff & to day he was in from a variety of circumstance which have fallen under our observation we are confirmed in our impressions respecting the views of our Bank folks, he wished me to impress on you the propriety of making every attempt to get S gs proxy.

Say on Tuesday.
Yours was duly received, the complexion of your ticket is very odious to all liberal & well informed republicans in the country, their illiberal & Jacobinic conduct will however have a conclusive tendency to prevent them from extending their disorganizing Spirit ^in^ to the Country. So that if your ticket but succeeds it will be all for the best, there is no...
After Mr. Van Alen arrived at my house on Sunday evening, we sent for T.L Hogeboom who agreed to start the next morning before day for Hillsdale, and to meet Abraham & James at my house yesterday as early as possible.
