Accept my sincere thanks, my dear Sir, for Your address, which I have read with great interest. It has given me a clearer idea of the delicate and arduous duties of the Chief Magistrate of a large City than I before possessed, and has gratified the partiality in your favor which led me to anticipate a wise and honourable discharge of those duties under your administration.

     I now enclose you a draft of the United States Bank or the branch at Boston for $201.50/100 which you will please dispose of in the manner mentioned to you in my last letter.
