My dr friend
Many thanks for you letter for the Baltimore American containing a part of your speech. I like this part much & I should doubtless like the whole better.
Dear old John [Mardley?]! I am glad to live to see Maryland a Free State. I wish I would know this Mr
Stockbridge of whom you speak.
I am very glad you are [toiling?] & [illegible]. I wish Monroe County would send you to Congress.
Your friend
