Miss Emily’s party passed off very well. She is gay, sprightly and agreeable, and has much more information than I had supposed. Her father is my best and most useful friend, who is always ready to serve me, and I wished to treat his daughter kindly.
Harriet and Henrietta are still with me, but the former, I regret to say, will leave some time next week......
We have no local news of interest. The Nevins and myself get along kindly, as usual.
With my kindest regards to Mr. Johnston, I remain,
Yours, with great affection,
James Buchanan.
