Your Account Current highly satisfactory. In fact it places my financial affairs in a better light than I thought for. What money of mine you have, or part of it, I shall want to go to Brunswick, Jos. McKeen Esq. treas. Bowd. Coll. Cor. about first of September. Did not you return me more than 10.00 though when I left Bangor? I did not get back here for that did I? Our expenses must have been more. .. My pocket has been rather bad since I sent you that $30.00. That was an advance on my June wages, then due in a few days. Well in consequence of the twisting up of R.R. financial concerns, that pay roll has not got round yet; and by present appearances, will not till the middle of Aug! However I happen to have pretty good neighbors; & live by borrowing quite comfortably! Politics - go ahead. give it to Taylor & Cass Men, best you know. I belong to the great "Free Soil Party. Hurrah for Martin Van Buren! Now those Barn Burners go into it!

Good! What do you think of John A. Dix? Lets hear your project for British debt. Open a correspondence with Sir Robert Peel, or some of them. What "Demonstration". You speak of Genealogy, Heraldry &c. It is something I am considerably interested; have wanted much to know more of. What information have you and where did you get it? Do share it with me. Do you understand heraldry? would understand a Coat of Arms; if you found it. I believe I have somewhere met a Mayo coat of arms before I was interested in the subject though; would give ten dollars to get hold of the Metcalfs. Thought of writing to England. Most ashamed to though till I have consulted some of old corners of Harvard Coll. Library
