Writes of the well being of his children. The remaining paragraphs include a copy of a letter from James (last name unknown) received on the 27th. It discusses how James is working vigilantly among the Republicans. James speaks of Swett's appointment to collectorship and how they must wait on the "Power of Recommendations" or the "Power & influence of the recommendations." James speaks of other members in the Senate who would be comfortable with Swett's appointment. Swett requests that Varnum replies with comments regarding James' letter.
