          you will therefore on turning this page be glad
 to find that I draw to a close. I enclose
 you your letter to Gen Totten which sometime
 ago you were good enough to give me. I of course
 made no use of it as I ascertained the day after
 I wrote to you that it had been given to Rendrick
 & passed by the Senate the last night of Congress.


 With many thanks my Dr 
 Doctor for your uniform kindness
 to me believe me


 Your Sincerely
 Thomas Antisell
