§ From Augustus B. Woodward. 4 September 1806, Detroit. “Mr. Wagner’s letter of the 9. of august I had the pleasure to receive. The mail to Pittsburgh is very large, and I believe no inconvenience would result from the transmission of the package for me by mail.

“I have to acknowledge the reception of the Acts of Congress, for which I am very grateful.

“I am very sorry our own laws are not here.

“Will Mr. Wagner do me the honor to favor me with a line on this subject?

“Nothing can ex⟨ceed⟩ the tranquility, spirit⟨s,⟩ and public satisfac⟨tion⟩ of this country.”
