I trust in Johnson for his
eventual counseling of those
fiendish radicals who seek to
consummate the most diabolical

I am happy to hear that Miss
Sallie has found a friend &
protector in Blake, who I hope
will prove himself a blessing to

Present my kindest regard
to Your Sons & daughters that many
be spared as [comforting?] to you

Most respectfully
and truly yours
Chas R. Barney
