Summary
Referring to the inoculations against smallpox; relating that "Congress have as yet passed but one bill. the repeal of the Judiciary law is rather doubtful in the Senate, by the absence of two republican Senators. great opposition is made to the reduction of the army, the navy, and the taxes. they will be reduced; but some republican votes will fly the way on the occasion;" asking in a postscript if the money he sent to Mr. Randolph arrived safely.
