learn him something. Oh! I should
be truly pleased, if I have, all my wor-
thy Cabinet with me, but it will hap-
pen ere long I trust.

              The Messrs Kulps, or Culps,
are as clever, genteel, attentive & steady
as war—and no young Gentlemen
stand higher. I want to call on them
tomorrow!

              Mrs Houston joins me, in true
regards to you. Write constantly!
Salute all friends. Ever thy friend truly,

  Houston

  Terrell
