Boston, March 12, 1850.
MY DEAR SIR,—As one of the citizens of Massachusetts, I may be permitted to express opinions as to the course of her public men, especially in approval of their course.
I have this moment finished reading your speech in the Daily Advertiser; it seems to me to be likely to do great good; and I think, upon sober second thought, our people will coincide with your views. I like the spirit and tenor of it.
Yesterday at a dining party, the approbation was unanimous among the guests. As there is said to be dissatisfaction, I thought that even my opinion, and that of those whose opinion I have learned, would be agreeable to you.
I remain very truly yours,
SAMUEL T. ARMSTRONG.
