There were other things, to which he promised attention, but which attention was not. I wrote him, 10 days ago, from Marshfield, to send the stock immediately down; to which he replied, that the snow is deep, that he has rheumatism, &c &c…I learn that he has been under a good deal of religious excitement…I cannot be without some apprehension.
