Possibly to James Trecothick Austin, a Massachusetts resident active in local politics. Thanks Austin for a copy [of a speech or an article]. Notes that the topic of the speech (possibly related to anti-slavery) will soon bring trouble on the United States, and that Austin's reformers will ignite unrest.
