Written by Delaware Senator Bayard to an unknown recipient. Says as he left Kent (probably Kent County, Delaware) he saw Mr. Bobbet and communicated with him upon the subject the recipient wanted discussed. Bobbet's disposition toward the suggestion was positive.
The arrangement involved Bobbet's son and Bobbet said he would accede to the arrangement while he was still his guardian for another year. Bobbet said after his son attained his majority that he would advice him to continue in the arrangement. Bayard says he will leave Wilmington in a day or two for Washington.
