Handwritten letter to Mr. Kennedy, in full: "I am just now recovering, I may almost say I have recovered, from another severe & painful attack of Rheumatism. This is the reason yours of the 26 ultimo did not receive an immediate answer. Many thanks for your report on the census! I have not yet been able to examine it."
