Albany April 12th. 1839
My dear Jennings,
Your letter of the 4th. instant was received, and
pushed aside among other matters until today.
I will attend immediately to Rathbone’s
Birth: 1791-08-02 Death: 1845-05-13
business.
Nothing has yet been heard from Mr Blatchford
Birth: 1820-03-09 Death: 1893-07-07

I doubt not that Mr Underwood
Unknown
is within the limits of his
contract. I regret that I did not see him on his way to
New York. His draft at all events is good, you may
pay it and hold it.
Yours faithfully
William H. Seward
