with the principle OF rotation adopted in practice
by the freeinen of this state, and consequently
tired without the expectation OF again meeting YOU
here. subsequently learned from several appIica-
lions, direct and indirect, that was not well I'M

pressed. Some, however, seemed to think that
had put forth sort OF interdicl, based upon stub
born resolution that my poor services should no
