Will you be good engh to inform me Whether you expect to be able to attend our Circuit at the next Term— We shall have a busy term, and the circumstances under which you left Phia., has made me very anxious to know from yourself how you are — not so much on account of the Court, as from the great interest I feel in your health, and indeed in all that concerns you — I pray God, that so great an evil as the loss of your Services on the Bench is yet at a distance — When a few of you old fashioned, but real Patriots, who could not be reached are gone, what is to save the already tottering Fabrick? To me the prospects of continued public prosperity appears gloomy — the elements of our union are contaminated — An unrelenting democracy is fast spoiling the work of the great Men of our Revolution — and worst of all our Judiciary is in a state of rapid depreciation — Is there any chance of a change in the public mind, and in the public Counsils for the better?

     If a return of your indisposition should prevent your being at Trenton in April, will you have the goodness to inform me as Early as is practicable — If in that case you could send on your Opinion in the case upon Dr Barnets Will, it would be highly acceptable to both Parties, who are very desireous of having on the main point of the cause, the construction of the Will. With fervent wishes for your health and happiness I remain dear Sir as ever Your affectionate Friend & Sevt
