 MEssRs. JOHNSON & YERKEs By your permission wish to make statement through your valuable paper.
 TO MY CONSTITUENTS.
 FelioW- Citizens - Through an ipausnicious dispensation of Providence 1 have been pre- vented from serving you in our State Legisla- ture, as you and l hal expected
 On the 9th of November, was prostrated tack of typhoid fever.
 After remaining at the capital for some three weeks, received assistance from some of my friends, and was taken into the country, believ- ing that l would thereby the sooner recover my health, but after remaining with my friends Qn Independence county,) about four weeks, and finding no Improvement in my health, again solicited and received assistance from some ot my Greene county friends, and on the 3Oth ot December reached my home, where have been confined to my room, and mostly to my bed, up to the present time.
 regret exceedingly my inability to serve you and could l have foreseen events as they have transpred, it would probably have been just and right for me to have resi- gned my seat, and al- lcwed you to have elected my successor, but have hattered myself from time to time. that would very soon be able 10 return to my post at the capitol, but have as often been dsappont- ed and now, when 1 am almost forced to give up all hope of returning to attend to the inn portant duties assigned me, I feel assured that were l to resign, you could not elect a delegate to represent you in time for him to reach the capitol before the adjournment, hence I deem that it would accomplish no good for me to re- sign at present.
 Nothing could have given me more trouble than to be cut off from the discharge of the important duties to which you so generously as- signed me.
 To my honorable friends of the General As semby, wish to say, that t has been a matterof deep sorrow to me, to be de- prived of taking part in your deliberations and In assisting i'll the enactment of laws for the common good of our country, but l have been governed by circumstan- ces over which 1 could have no control, hence have had to yield my preferences to surrounding circumstances, as best could
 With reg ard to my pay as a member of your honorable body, 1 have no doubt you will do me justice, and it seems to me that it would only be an act of justice to pay me my per dem to the close of the session; as have no doubt but my protracted illness was brought on by my attendance at the capitol, and I am sure that nothing but sickness would have kept me out of my seat, vet wish to leave the matter of pay entirely with you, having the utmost confidence that you will do right.
 Most respectfully,
 Your friend, and ob't serv't, J. s. ANDERSON. | LOrnda Ark January 18th 1S59
