March 23rd 1846

My Dear Alexander,
I send the accompanying report on my speech. It seems to be longer than it really is. I should like that the Herald would publish it but I do not believe [Binnote] will do so tho he promises to give place to some account of the proceedings. If the Herald would publish Truth Teller could copy.
Off the [?] [?] [?] the Truth Teller should [?] [?] as soon as possible. I wish it published all together & I shall depend on you to attend partially to proof sheets. To make sense where sense is not. There are many mistakes I have no doubt in there now.
I heard from the President to day-all well. He says something about some [?] [?] used in one of my letters that had annoyed Julia. I have written him that it was altogether unintentional. Madame Julia is too sensitive.

My visit to New York was a most pleasant one. I parted from your mother & Mag with [unfeigned?] regret. Give my best love to them.
Remember me [?] to the gallant Col. C David, & tell Jim to get married without delay. Do the same yourself.

I [?] me truly yours
Br. Tyler

[?] [?] for Mag the [?] [?] with me [?] [?].
