Well written, with a fine large signature of the President in full. 7th President of the United States, 1829-1837.

"I received through Mr. Atwater the series of views which you were good enough to present to me, and acknowledged their receipt, soon after his arrival in this city; but finding from your note of the 21st ulto that my note did not reach you; I take pleasure in repeating an expresson of my thanks. Please consider me a subscriber to their publication and believe me, Very Respectifully… Andrew Jackson."
Fine.
