Writes to his wife saying that he did indeed write to her before, but that he later found out his letter was not delivered: As I staid at Randalls I entrusted it to his black man, and it is now pretty evident he deceived me and did not carry it to the office. Also comments on recent attacks upon him in a newspaper: I have read the attack in Adams's paper - The writer must be a fellow of diabolical sensation to be sure - It shall not give me pain. I shall put all those sons of darkness and envy under my feet one of these days but, the time has not arrived. The report of the Committee of Congress is my mark - If it is received I sing - if it is rejected I soar. Further discusses his finances and accounts, and asks her not to mention any of this information to Henry Jackson. Of his planned meeting with Joseph Brandt, the famous Mohawk chief, he writes, I think our overtures for peace will be successful - One thing may prevent them - The inroads of the frontier people against positive orders - and the killing our messengers. Asks Lucy to befriend Captain Anthony's wife, since Knox has experienced some solid friendships through Anthony. Ends by stating that he had two family dinners with the President this week.
