And we would dwell particularly on
the unanswerable reasons and cogen1
: arguments with which the notification

: accompanied. We had been, our
] selves, struggling for days and weeks
TO arrest the passage of the bill, and tc

b your Exceilency that you have &C
i compIished for US that against you
e friends which we, with our most strenu
If Gus exertions, were unable to achieve.
