Vowing to destroy second bank of the United States.
Washington
January 1st. 1834
Dr Sir,
Your favor of the 27th ulto is just recd and with it the German Pipe you have so kindly offered to my acceptance. As a mark of your respect and as an innocent instrument of pleasure allow me to assure that this New Year token is highly acceptable.
I am pleased at the sentiments you cap up in regard to the course I have felt it my duty to pursue respecting the U S Bank. If it is ever rechartered or any institution with similar powers it shall not be my fault.
yrs. thankfully respectfully
J. K Paulding Sr. Andrew Jackson
