"As my Husband has thought it proper to inclose a Letter, received from our son to the president . . . I inclose one to me for your perusal, the political part of which you may read to the president if you judge best. It is a more free expression of his feelings and opinions, respecting the continuance of this farce of a negotiation on the part of the British Government, than he might think prudent to commit to public dispatches. His feelings respecting the capitulation of Alexandria were excited, by the first accounts which reached him through British channels—they were similar to those experienced by every real American—yet situated and defenceless as Alexandria was, what could they have done!? Why they were thus left! is an other question," etc.
