This is the conversation which was alluded to

An imperfect account of which had reached Mr..
Gibbons, who IS stranger to me, and which led
TO a correspondence at that time, when Mr.. ~
Ter was invited to authorize a publication ot the
whole conversation, which the Madisonian decln-
ed I suppose by authority 10 give: and wh'ch

But single extract from a speech delivered
" Mr.. Tyler in 1881, on the removal of the de-
