Monday morning, seven o'clock, May 5, 1851.
MY DEAR SIR,—I was happy to find a short letter from you in my mail yesterday. As to the "especially special" letter to me from New York, I shall receive it with great gratitude and sincere respect, but I hope it will not be of a character to call me away immediately from my engagements here.
I shall look for you with hope and confidence, on Saturday morning, and trust you will bring some friend with you. There are two or three things I want to say to you, by word of mouth.
It is again wet and rainy, and the glass down to 40°, as disagreeable a morning as you would wish to see.
Yours, truly always,
DAN'L WEBSTER.
