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.
