It preserves phrases praising courage and duty, condemning weak reporting, and mentioning the Whig Congress, with stray references to reporters and readers. The text is garbled but centers on political stance and press commentary.

It endorses permanent occupation of New Mexico and California, strengthens the defensive line, and urges vigorous prosecution of the war with levies on the enemy. Tariff receipts exceed last year. Post Office costs are covered by the cheap postage law.
