I expressed to Mr.. Calhoun ruy regret to End by
his pamphlet, facts disclosed and opinions express

ton your conduct, that had been carefully sup.
pressed IA, the time OF the Investigation That for
his part Inc about To receive his reward and
would ioll victim To his own policy, nor would
he, in my opinion, although tho first on the list,
be the last victim.
The purport and substance of my letter to MIR.
Calhoun, have given you. My papers were so
much derangcd and destroyed by tho sprug flood,
that could not find tho copy; OF course | have
to write from recollection. Tins letter was not
written in confdcHcc; did not request, nor did
1T require answer; nor did over receive an
answer to it from Mr. CALHOUN. / have only To
repeat, that, other than what L have already sta.
,sd. have had no communication from Mr. Cal.
houn "rclatiyc To the Seminole war, al d the in
cdcnts growing out of it,"
Having closed my answers to the interrogstories,
you will permit to observe, that such of the
foregoing questions, by fair and necessary infer.
encc were calculated TO make the passive in-
strumcnt III the hands OF Mr.. Calhoun to accuse
or crininato you should have refused TO ans,ver
III court of Justice, and should have repealed
an attempt to make me mpugn my own character
and 6ishonor myself, and that too in the discharge
of an important public duty. Bot no,w.ths,and
ing you seem TO consider me the victim of Mr..
Calhoun's superior duplicity and skill, still your
appeal to to DO you Justice in case where
you suppose me concerned in iniicting the injury
evnces such confidence in my sincerity and candur
your part, that il has not failed to be duly an
P.eclWeo on mlhc anG hehce IL liz, nave answer

unrescrvcd frankness.
Finding by your letter before me, that you design
the statement for "futurc historical use, and that
your object, and sole object, is the establishment
If truth, anil TO do justice to al men," permit
Inc IN conclusion to assure you, that it-wil afford
me sincere pleasure to learn, that have contr-
butod in any degree to tho accomplishment of an
object 80 aUdablc, and should tho information
have given, he the means of producing har-
