Abstract:
Thanks Rives for writing to him and sending a copy of his speech. Supports Rives' "lucid and forcible argument on the [Webster-Ashburton] treaty with a lively interest, and with an entire conviction of the soundness of its principles, & the justness of its conclusions." Is happy with the land acquired by the U.S. and doubted if "we had any good reason for expecting more." Was unaware of the potential importance of the map he found. Discussion respecting the 'red line' Mitchell Map.
