Boston, October 11, 1851.
MY DEAR SIR,—I have
been at Manchester for a day, and returned yesterday. It was the occasion of a
great State fair, at which an immense multitude assembled.
I have had thoughts
of fulfilling a promise of long standing to the Vermontese, but I have given it
up. Nor shall I go again to New Hampshire, as I feel it to be my duty to be
looking to the South, and the more so, as I expect to be obliged to return to
Boston for a few days, on important professional business. The weather is fine,
and I am gaining in health and strength. Yours, always truly,
DAN'L WEBSTER.
P. S. It is news to
me that I am expected to make an address at Baltimore.
