NEW YoRK June 6, 1896.
Mn. PREs1DENr-I am unwilling to leave the
United States without expressing to your Excel
llencv the regret feel in departing without hav-
ing gone to Washington to make your acquain-
lance. Though an ill-fated destiny brought me
to America, l had counted upon reaplng great
benefit in my new place of exile from the society
of her distinguished men. wished to study the
: manners and institutions Of a people who have
achieved more lasting triumph by their commerce
and their enterprise than we, in Europe, have
gained by our arms. l had hoped, under the
guardianship of your free laws, to have travelled
over a country which excites all my sympathy,
from the fact that its history and prosperity are
Dle0OcO
which is a glory to Frenchmcn. But imperative
duty recalls to the old world; my mother
being dangerously i'll, and political considcra-
ton OBTAINING me here, go to England, and
shall from thence endeavour to return to Swift
erland.
II is with pleasure, sir, that enter upon these
details with your Exccency, since you may have
given credence to the calumnious surmises re-
specting me which have appeared in some of the
public journals Holding you, sir, as do IN high
estimation, as the ruler Of a free people l am
happy that you should know, that, with the name |
bear. it is not possible for to depart, for an
instant, from the path pointed out to me by my |
conscience, my honour, and my duty.
Drav YOUR Excellency to receive this letter as
a proof Of nv respect for him who occupies the
chair of WASHINGTON, and accept the expression
Of my regard and distinguished consideration.
