Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, March 3, ls49


Sin; Upon my arrival in Washington last night, |
learned that correspondence had ensued between my
brother and yourself reference the remarks made by
YOU the Senate on Thursday and Friday 22d and 23d
utmo) upon the bill then pending for my relief AS the
result OF that correspondence entirely amlcable and
satisfactory and your views changed by a
better knowledge OF the facts, should have been per-
fecty content with the eparaion which your voice and
vote would have exhibited.
But the pressure of business has precluled my claim
from the further consideration of the Senate during the
present session, and your official term has expired,
there can be no adequate opportunity for full justice to
me in this matter. The remarks which, through mad
verence sneeed at my gallantry, misepresented the
motives and object of my claim and asserted that was
asking compensation for losses already remuneraed,
have been transmitted from your place in the Senate to
every section OF the country and among all who may be
ignorant OF the true incidents OF my brief military career
and Imprisonment, calculated prejudice and
injury. Had you recapltulaed from the official records
the little history of my humble participation in the chances
and conflicts of the war; should not have complained of
any individual views or comments upon the value OF my
services the OF reputation which they might
justly bring have boosted of my exploits, but
have received from my counlrymen their recognition of
my efforts, and sympathy for my imprisonment, with a
deep and abiding gratitude 1t may not, however, be
amss to say, that the very day when you upon The
floor of the Senate assaed my character and services
NAL of sword for my participation in the burning of the
Creole, the reconnaissance OF Vera Cruz, and the bat
ties of the valley OF Mexico. now, however, submit
your of justice, and feelings gentleman,
whether not entitled, under the circumstances to
expression OF your present views which may coun
eract the effect of words spoken in ignorance of the real
nature and merits of my claim.
You are, as | am informed, now aware that my memo.

and expenses necessarily incurred and that the portions
of the particularly excepted to by you
merely the complimentary words OF the committee by
whom the bill was reported
