The toast " Palsy to the brain that

Tor our) union," about which Burr has as
ked questions, was, as you have correctly
stated, printed at Springfield 1t was, "a

ton to publish, and was accordingly sent to
Springfield for that purpose in your absence

the toast, when you were at Washington in
the spring or winter of 1906.
The sentiment was given by YOU. rs

the citizens of this place, as compliment
for what YOU termed ciViRties YOU had re-
ceivcd from them.

when given, entirely 5ie7y, and that it had
never before been given by you to the pub
lic' IN any other place. The sentiment was
bold aud pleasing one to me, ! according
iy selected it AS one which would so appear

been published before. Fit had been, that
circumstance was unknown by me. At a
NY rate, 1t was Published at Springfield bv

reach you If it should he so fortunate, it
may be serviceable. ] therefore send it.
Your last letter, with its accompanying
paper, was ea'Snatic. lam, however, at
no great loss TO conjecture its meaning. |

may be with YOU, and give you safe deliver
