is pouring out of England & France -
This may act upon the United
States & produce a drain of gold &
a great depreciation of their currency
if not a financial crash.
We must of course be prepared
for them & must presume that they
will come with great power - but I
do not think they can for the reasons
given above & I hope to see you as
Lieut. Genl. & command the opening
the Mississippi & re-uniting us with
Louisiana, Texas & Arkansas-
My family continues well-
We have been made very happy
by a marriage of my son Robert
to his Cousin, Miss Caroline Elliott.
They were married on [7th inst?]
Will you remember me
very fondly to your wife, if she is
with you and to Sally, if she is still in
the [bush?]
Very affectionately
Stephen Elliott
