I received your letter of yesterday, enclosing [one] from Mrs Blodget, addressed to me. My personal acquaintance with that lady is limited: But it has been sufficient, with some other favorable information which I have received of her, to inspire me with a high respect for her genius, and a disposition to serve her in any way in which I could do so with propriety. During the short remnant of the present administration, I fear no opportunity to promote her wishes in regard to her son-in-law, will present itself. Should, however, contrary to expectation, one offer, it will afford me great pleasure to be able to serve her. In regard to her hopes under the next Administration, it would be most [ex]pedient for her to approach it through some other medium than me. I am, my dear Sir, With great regard, Your obedient servant,
