GentLensn: II have the honor 10 acknowledge
the receipt OF your note oil ibis date, informing me
thatyou were a inint committeeto welcome Mr..
Kennedy aud myself; and to tender to us the hos
of the city of Baltimore, enquiTing also,
when II be agreeable To receive my friends

i 5 Ny unexpected arriyat among you has not taken
you more by surprise than this flattsIing mark OF
respect from your beautiful and iaourishing city
has me.t II cannot regret. however, that have
reached this point IN my journey enrier tim you
anticipated for i should have felt compelled in
pursuance of a previous rssoiutionto decline any
public honors which You citizens might have been
disposed 10 tender. So
Ny reason for his, 4 hope. will be,duly pppre
ciated by the cltizens of Baltimore. Ny journey
wasundertaken with the sole yies of visiting that
portion of my native country whichi had long de-
sired 70 see, but which circumstances, beyond my
control, had hitherto prevented, My route has
been ! ng and ;fatiguing one. Thegenerols hos
FATALITIES, which hive been so profusely iayshed
upon me. have added greatiyito its interests and
delight, without lesseuing its labors. ssss
To refuse these lilies, when Offered by friends
whom had never seen, appeared ungracions, arp
therefore yielded to " hat seemed 10 be kind OF
moral necessity resolying, however, that as soon
as reached point here Il had visited before,
that would ask permls sion 10 decline all further
public display. This will explain my motive for
now soliciting that favor at your hands.
81 all, however, be ready to be presented To
such of your citizens as may desire itany hour to-
morrow which you. may appoint. ~ s'sS5p
beg yondo excuse this note, as write in much
haste and have moi time 10 copy.
With my pIofound acknowle dgmedts, gentle
men, for the honor you have done me, / rhnain
