Auburn Friday evening Oct 5 –
My dear J.
Here I am arrived at last. mMr P. J V H
Birth: 1799-12-23
has gone to
New York. From J.D.
Birth: 1782-10-07 Death: 1858-08-08Certainty: Probable
there is not a word. I go to N.Y. I sup-
pose on Monday.
You must consult Messrs Hozletin

Plumb
Birth: 1802-06-09 Death: 1877-08-31

on the
subject of the villainus articles in the Argus & act as they advise.
They wil ndo no harm out of Chautaque. They have fallen
harmless here and elsewhere in the state.
The news from Penns. is favorable as I believe – but I do
not understand it enough. My information ^from^ every quarter is propitius,
I saw people in Erie & Geneva enough to satisfy me that all is well
there & will be spite of the Argus.
Write to me just as if nothing I were to remain here.
The interrogations of Mr G Smith
Birth: 1797-03-07 Death: 1874-12-28
have come. And are under
consideration.
All well
