Washington, Friday morning, seven o'clock, May 9, 1851.
MY DEAR SIR,—I hope to meet some Boston friends in New York on Tuesday. Mr. Edward Curtis will be there, as well as others, and it may be a good time to confer. My own stay will be short, as we leave early the next morning. But I hope you, and whoever comes with you, may be able to stay a day or two. My letter to you expresses pretty much what I have to say on the subject. What remains must be left to friends.
Yours, truly,
DAN’L WEBSTER.
P. S. Of course, if any thing be attempted, Mr. Choate must be our standard-bearer.
