Mn Dear Sir-In my letter of the 7th nlt. stated
my belief that there could be no safe nor permanent
resumption of specie payments by the banks, until
the policy Of the Government towards them was
changed.
The repeal of the Specie Circular by Congress
makes that change. l see. now, what until now
have not SEEN the means Of restoring the currency:
rejoice very sincerely at the termination Of this
unhappy controversy and shall cordially cooperate
are, am sure, anxious TO effect, an early resump-
lion of specie payments throughout the Union
