New York Jan 10.
My dear Jennings
I am here with all mine.
Tomorrow I go to Philadelphia with all my folks.
Mr John Duer
we regard good encouragement for the belief that
we shall have a successful mission.
You will hear from me
at Philadelphia.
The Whig N.Y. seems to be unanimous for the Whig gu-
bernatorial candidate of 1834. There must nevertheless
be much discussion of the question.
The Convention will nominate their own.
Frances
all the haste you can well conceive I am obliged
to be brief.
Your affectionate brother.
