MY DEAR SIR: You must consider the short letter I wrote to
you by the last post as altogether unofficial; but I am now
to intimate to you, in a more formal manner, our hope of your
speedy return, as the object of your journey seems, for the
present at least, to be at an end.
We have London news, by the way of the river, up to the 6th of
March, which tallies to a day with what we have received by the
way of the States.
Heartily wishing you a safe and speedy journey back to us, I
am, my dear sir, most sincerely, yours,
