I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 23rd ultimo, inviting me on behalf of the citizens of Columbus, Georgia, to spend a day at that place, on my journey from this City to my residence in Tennessee.2 I will set out on my journey on the morning of the 6th Instant, but am unable to inform you as you request, on what day, I will probably, pass through Columbus. On my arrival there, it will afford me pleasure to spend a short time with you.
