Shares Hobart's sentiment of missing home and friends. Explains that his folks have moved to another house and that trade has been opened for "people living on each side of Penobscot Bay." Mentions that "a Bill for Banks, a Bill for Classifying the Militia, and a Bill for raising additional revenue" are the objects which have had a lot of attention in the present negotiations at the Congress of Vienna.
