Inside: Noah Webster letter to Emily Ellsworth, 1838 April 3

election are said to be remarkably favorable to
federalists: So that you husband is to be governer.
New when you come to see us, we shall treat you
just as we used to do, & we shall often mistake & call
your husband Mr Ellsworth. He must prepare a good
message, containing sound principles of the true federalist
school, such as Washington & his father would approve,
if living. It is some consolation that the public are once in
a while, right. I have lived to see several changes of parties,
but whether the policy of the general govt is to be changed,
I do not know.

Accept the love of your father

N Webster
