Washingson, Nov IL. 1915.
SIR--I have received your Ietter of The 5tb
inst conveying unania,ous resolution of the
two houses Of the Legislature of New.Yoek,
expressing the emotions with which they view
the terms of peace proposed by the British
Commissioners at Gncnt, and recommending
the mos, vigorous measures for bringing the
war TO an honorable termins,ioa.
The language does great honor 70 the patti
otism and Jus, sentiments OF The State, by
whose public councils il has been adopted
and the resolution derives addllional value
from the unauimity stamped upon It.
Such q devotion, every where, TO the rights
and dignity of our country, is alone necessary
to speedy triumph over the obstacles 10 an
honorable peace and such an example could
proceed from no source more entitled or more
conducive to patriotic cmuiaiions.
Accept,Sir,an assurance of my high esteem,

Esteemed Friend Thomas Jefferson,
/ have for years feit a, times affection to-
wards thee, with wish for thy salvation;
60 wit, the attainment while on this stage al
nme,Ga the natural body )of suitable portion
of dipme :i/e for otherwise we know little tnorc
thaa the life of nature, and therein, arc in dam
Ter Of becoming inferior 10 the beasts which
pcrish,in consequence Of declining the offers
of divine life made to every rational being.
But have long hac better hopes OF thee
and have thought (par,icuarly in our little
quiet meeting yesterday that thou hadst been
faithful Cat least) over fcw things, and wish
thou mayest become ruler over more, and
entered in,o the Joy Of our Lord, and unto
his rest {: and it occurred in order thereto,
that We should become CHRISTIANS, for he
that has not the spiril OF Christ is none of
his, and this knowledge and bci,of IS, Think
strongly insisted on by divers of the apostles,
who had personally seen, and were eye wit
nosscs 70 his majesty, particularly in the
mount, and others who had not that view,
which however, was Insufficient to perfect
thcm,and was u be taken away, that they
might be more effertually turned to that
spirit, which leadeth into all truth, whose
power alone is able 20 reduce the spirits OF
nature to suiabic silence and submission.
Thy friend, -- -,s
