Description:

9 lines, in ink, on half sheet of plain paper 6½x7¾.

Polk writes: "N.B. Mark what I sway - our adversaries have become desperate. The war is but just begun - their ambition - & great hope now is to carry _____? against the President's supposed wishes & influence. They will give no quarter; and we must fight the battle like men. With a cause so good, victory must be ours. ... J.K.P." This is undoubtedly a postscript from a longer letter and seems to be aimed more at Polk's political adversaries than the forces of Mexico.
