Capt A. H. Polk Corinth

Dear Sir

Your messengers safely delivered to me two Trunks, one long Box, and Two Bundles of Papers which will be taken care off untill called for and which I sincerely hope may not be very long, and that your Faather safe from the Perils of War may assemble us together to open them and to resume his duties as our Chancellor. Two or three such glorious victories victories as you have lately attained will soon bring the vandals to their senses.

With very very warmest regards for your Father

I am very respcy
