Addresses letter to "My dear Harry." Writes about a severe snow storm, "the most of any we have had this winter - for ten days past, we have had the severest cold Season, known for many years." Goes on to discuss the Federal elections. Notes that Mr. Ames will gain a seat by only a small margin, not the large majority that Jackson expected. Says most believe Mr. [Elbridge] Gerry will be chosen by Middlesex. Sends his love to Knox's family. Watermarked "L Paine."
