My Dear W. H. Florida 17 Feb 1833

about the ninth of March. Anxious

let this public expression rest.
I arrive at the Feb terms with the

would think this measure advisable
but to my utter astonishment meetings

I leave them their hope is gone.
Still I cannot learn they have
any prosspect of success. Your

earnestly wish you to give
me your views by the first possi-
ble opportunity. And if it is
