[inserted - different hand: To Washington]

My dear Sir

I arrived here the last Evening.  It has been a circumstance of inexpressible regret that [inserted: [strike-out] an extreme & insung course of – ] contrary winds detained one longer than I expected.  Permit one to request the favor by the return of this express, that if upon a review of the business of my department, I should find the measure compatable, that may wait upon you Carlile or elsewhere, until the painful lash upon which you are, shall be settled.

I am with perfect respect
and affection Your
Obedient Servant
