"Dear Sir The many obligations which am under

Of Government have been left with one who Will carry
out the principles which believe 10 be embodied In

"Whle at Washington recently, and from impressions
there received, formed the deiern nation oil bringing

more strength than the vote OF himself and ms 'mme
