TO COLONEL W. S. SMITH.
I have to acknowledge the receipt of the raspberry
bushes, and the pot of strawberry vines, for which
accept my thanks. I have had them placed in a
good part of the garden, and shall pay particular
attention to them. I hope I shall be able to treat you
with a plate of them, when I shall have the pleasure
of seeing you at Quincy.
Whatever strange events occur in the political
world, I think your path plain; the strict and impartial
discharge of the duties of your office, with a
prudent silence, without becoming the demagogue
of any party.
Be so good as to send the enclosed by a safe
hand. My love to Mrs. Smith and the children.
Tell her I have commenced my operations of dairy-woman;
and she might see me, at five o'clock in the
morning, skimming my milk. Adieu, my dear Sir.
