Worries that Colonel Ogden will not extend the Cumberland road any farther that he already has, unless forced to do so. Feels that the current situation, with both the road and government in general, is "adverse to the public interest." Bemoans the fact that the opponents of Jackson and the Democrats control almost all aspects of the local Illinois government, and says that the only way to win these back will be with the help of the President. Written two months before Kinnard was killed in an explosion aboard the steamboat Flora on the Ohio River.
