Dr [Dear] Sir,

Will you be so good as to inform me [added: in] answer to this note whether Mr Bell , in conversation with you on the subject of the present Congressional election, did [added: or did not] observe that all the friends of General Jackson were opposed to his election _ I feel desirous to know something satisfactory concerning this observation, having heard it spoken of [gap] frequently, & with reference to the election _ as a friend [added: & relation] of General Jackson, it seemed to me as importing something of disrespect to to their character & the cause which they are anxious to promote.

Yrs [Yours] Respectfully
