Washington, February 16, 1850.
MY DEAR SIR,—I felt very much obliged to you for your letter of the 9th of January. I am preparing an edition of my speeches, with notes to all or most of them. They will make, I think, five volumes. Your suggestions are exactly what I needed. Early next month I expect to be in Boston, and one considerable object of the intended visit is to arrange with some bookseller for the publication. I shall need your further advice.
I think that the clamor about disunion rather abates; and I trust that if, on our side, we keep cool, things will come to no dangerous pass. California will probably be admitted, just as she presents herself.
Mrs. Webster's eyes are open, expecting to see Charlotte early next week.
