ance caused him by the constant applications of Mr.
Richmond ssto obtain satisfaction in his behalf for
rous wrongs which he to have been committed
the Austrian authorities Pcsth against his person and
his honor" and says:
Ispoke to the under Minister Foreign Affairs about
his case, and requested that he might be dealt with

kndes possible was assured that any further
collision should occur between Mr.. Richmond and the
authorities what had said would be borne in mind, and
he would not be severely handled"

will satisfy your mind think, that he must have passed
the boundary line which sometimes separates o
really superior intelligence from mschievous species
insanity"
Mr. Secretary Marcy in letter to Mr.. Jackson, says
q The Department entirely approves of the prudent
