My dear sir

I hope your treasurer will
find his exchecquer large
enough to take in the modest
discussions of my cabinet this 
year. I am glad to hear that
your income in Columbia is
some [?]18,000 better this year than
last and I suppose from the
results of your public lectures 
the outlay will be somewhat
up. I rely on you to keep
me in mind.

My kindest regards to
your daughters and tell [?] Jane
I recd [received] her sweet note and hope 
she
