another person. as he has recent, done, IN your
place to fill that office.
10 making this notification, it affords me much
pleasure TO be able to state, that your conduct
has been perfectly satisfactory TO your own gov
eminent; that it appears to have been distinguish
ed throughout by great zeal and discretion in the
discharge of the duties incident to your station.
under the most unfavorahle circumstances, and
of those which occasionally devolved upon you.
from the temporary vacancies that had occurred
in the diplomatic agencies OF the United States
in Brazil; and that It feels an unfinished conf
dence in YOUR patriotism, integrity and pru.
dence. You will readily perceive. however,
that no alternative was left to the President, up
on the OCCASION. and that in compliance with the
established usage in such cases, and the courtesy
due from one nation to another, he was obliged
to take the step he did.
