Auburn September 4th 1837.
My dear Jennings,
I wrote you on Saturday, and also yesterday
in answer to your letter in relation to the Lumberman’s Bank[ . ]
Reason:
Lest I might not be misunderstood, I add to the substance
of what I wrote on that subject that I will now as
always consent to any arrangement you may make for
the taking the Lumberman’s bills predicated upon their redemp-
tion promptly at 60 days. The security for their redemption
to be ample, and the arrangement not to continue after default.
I have received a favorable letter from Dr. Macaulay
in answer thereto have agreed to meet him in Philadelphia
on the 13th instant. You may address your letters to me at
that place. We are all well & and hope Marcia’s
is not so much worse as your letter would give us cause
to apprehend.
Faithfully yours
W H. Seward
