Washington City - Jan 17th 1837

Dear Mother

I arrived here safe on the 5th after a rather pleasant trip, and in good health - I found here that my business had progressed remarkably well and I think by hard work I shall succeed very soon - I wrote you from Charleston just before I left there - I succeeded completely in finding the records of all the papers I was fearful was lost worth at this time $250.000

We were expecting Santa Anna here. But learned now he is on his way sick at Lexington KY - Nothing new or interesting going on here Texas for the present is laid on the shelf - congress I think will make a business session of it Give my love to the children - I got a letter from Br. Yesterday from N. Orleans - he was well

Your affectionate Son
Samuel A. Plummer
