Collinsworth from office to suit the views of some ·other person. I saw a private letter this moment and I have not time to write you all that is in it, but I as one of your best friends you know only ask for time for he Collinsworth to have time to come up. I feel confident that all is right and can be fully explained to your entire satisfaction Major
