Dear Sir -
If you do not
desire to know my address, (which you had
better not know if you have any prospect of
being [permanent ?] to Washington) please hand
the endine knot to F. B. I. mia, per-
haps, may wish to see me to consult as to
our future course. I have been pularly
summoned; but have [been likely refused ?] to
obey the summons; & am in the country, now,
to have quiet until I shall complete the
forthcoming volume. I directed your lecture
to be sent to you for correction; which I am
told - has been done.
Can you furnish me with an eye of the
B. of B. J? I was very curious of the defects
of the eye of copier; but as I recollect very
little about the B, I can not undertake
to subscribe it from my own resources. I shall
however, yet obtain the testimony of the
eye witnesses; as I have all their names,
(the "Orderly Book" that you allude to) &
will either see or write to every man
who was present, or [women ?] can
get their addresses, or leave them.
