DEAR IRI have heard with real pain Of your intep-
ion Of leaving our ship and Of the causes which have i'm
PEELED you that step But before your departure from
amongst have Thought that might not be altogether
displeasng to you to know that there many of
brother officers besides myself who far from being OF
the opinion that you have done the least thing to
promise country and who. therefore, by means
subscribe to the charge that has been so nhapl laid al
your door
The resolution of country in your favor was hailed
with just pride but it became matter Of especial grat
cation when 1t known that the vessel to which
attached designated for the honor Of conveying you
from bondage to freedom Your upon decks
was therefore received with JOY and so far yourself and
your company concerned has been OF unil
terrupted pleasure to the present time 1t is but
uraI then. that your leaving under the most
favorable circumstances should pain But when it
takes place under circumstances little gratifying
all feel absolutely to express the sentiment il
produces and do not deceive you to the character
the American people, when declare it my firm conviction
that they will be deeply mortified at learning that any
of conduct the part of their felowcitizens and
agents abroad should have been SUCH matter how
adyertanty to drive national guest from their doors
trust you will not view this voluntary expression
sentiment impertinence 1t not intended SUCH
but Is rather from the sincere desire that you will do
Justice to on board and not depart from
under the unpleasant and unjust conviction that any
act your part has occasioned the least dpleasre
With sentiments of great esteem for yourself personally
