CHICAGO, ILL.,
October 21, 1850.
MY DEAR SIR—Your
kind favor of the 3d inst. has reached me at this place, having been forwarded
from Washington. I was able to leave there a few days after the adjournment,
and took the Erie route, but was unable to stop over a day, as I was in a hurry
to get home. I had the pleasure of seeing your friend, Birdsall, a moment at
the depot in your place, and to learn from him that you were well. It was the
first time I had travelled that route. I was delighted with it, and think it
far preferable to the one by Albany. Your town is a charming place. I have seen
nothing like it in all my travels, taking the town and surrounding country into
view together. I shall gladly avail myself of the first convenient opportunity
to make you a visit.
I have the honor to remain
