Houston to ob- tain ome respite from the Government position he hold in the Gov- ernment, for which purpose your pre ence here, to a. ume his place, will consequently be indispensable- ! can not give yoi.1 an adequate idea of the troubles in which we are involved as well by our own inevitable necessities as by the machina- tion of some unquiet spirits [which] seem disposed to ri k even the afety of the Country for the gratification of their private passions- A great part of the army ha been-furloughed-from actual nece - sity-Congress ha been in session ince the 1st of last month and have done little or nothing of importance.-1\Iany things they have done, they have leanied of & in the moi;t bung-lino- manner. · I know it may be very inconvenient £or you to return as speedily as I think the interest of the Country requires, nor can I do more than express to you the great solicitude I feel on the subject, leaving it to be di po ed of by your elf, in that way which may mo t Consist with your own Convenience & feelings.-
