Dear Sir, I recd.
yours of the 5th inst. by due course of mail. The President's views as
expressed in his Message on all subjects is well received by his friends, and
in fact it has sealed the lips of his political inimies.
The bill organising a Supream Court has passed and Judge

stand erect. I am busy ingaged in preparing materiels for the campain of 1847.
I compel the Feds2 to vote on all important questions and there
dishonest political course is pointed out to them all most every day in the
Senate and I am certain it would gratify you to witness how they hang there
heads and bear it without oping there mouths.
Fountain G. Moss is the gentleman that I wish appointed post
master at Hollingsworth P. Off. in my neighbourhood the petition sent last year
states the reson which makes it desirable to have Mr. Moss appointed in place
of Mr. Wynn please have the business attended without fail.
