pretensions to a seat in the direction of your affairs having been long
submitted to your consideration, it only remains for me to assure
you that should my efforts, aided by your influence, prove success-
fhl, It shall be my constant and anxious desire and care to justify by
my conduct the good opinion and confidence of those by whose
Suffrages I shall have been placed In that responsible situation.
