answer
PERTH Both Aug, 1925.
sir nave just recelN the letter which YOU have
done me the honour TO address me, expressing your
lntenion in behalf of the magistrates of presenting
me with the freedom of this ancient CITY. Few
occurrences in the course of my life have afforded
me higher degree of qualification than this fiat
tering mark of your attention, inasmuch az some
OF my eares, recolleciions are associated with nv
former residence In Perth, where received part of
my education.
But, Sir, while am strongly influenced by those
feelings, my paramount duty, as an American c- |
zen, nevertheless constants to decline the hon |
our which Oh have so handsomely offered to con
Ter on me. A clause IN the constitution OF the |
United States, prohibits the acceptance, by any of |
It's oihcers, of any immunity wh,e er, from |
foreign government, and it mas been recently dec-
ded, on an exactly similar occasion, by an author-
ny 10 which feel myself bound to defer, dat tbs
case iorms no exception.
In drclInii this honour, therefore, ,vhIch do |
with the utmos respect, trust you vii 10 justice |
to my motives, and believe that / b. = not the |
ess grateful sense OF it,
have The honor to be, with great respec', your
obedent ant, DAVID FAIJSER
