So incessantly has my time been employed that it has been utterly
out of my power to avail myself of your kind and hospitable offer to spend some time with
you on a visit. Had circumstances permitted, I
would have been much delighted to visit your section of the state, not only to extend my
acquaintance in that quarter, but also to observe your mode of cultivation, which I think
would suit well our mountainous regions in that I reside.
I hope that on some future occasion, I may have leisure to do
what my engagements have prevented from doingI enclose copies of my several speeches during the session and
efforts on the abolition and deposit questions.
With great respect,
I am
J. C. Calhoun
