The President orders to the right about face, at Concord,
when they beat a march, quick time, back to
Washington.

Concord, Nu Hamsheer, June 30, 1833.
To the Editor of the Portland Courier.

My Dear old Friend,—The jig is all up about
our going to Portland and Downingville. I've battled
the watch with the President this two days
about it, and told him he must go there if he had the
breath of life in him; and he kept telling me he certainly
would if hoses could carry him there.

But the President is n't very well, and that aint the
worst of it; there 's been a little difficulty bruin among
us, and the President's got so riled about it, that he's
finally concluded to start on his way back to-morrow.
I cant help it; but I feel bad enough about it. If I
wasn't military man I could cry a barrel of tears.

I dont know how they will stan it in Downingville
when they come to get the news. I'm afraid there
will be a master uproar there, for you know they are all
full-blooded democrats.

But the stage is jest agoing to start, and I've only
time to write you this line, in haste from your friend
