To the Editor ofhe Times Sir: The period
has arrived when it becomes my duty to thank
the great British public for the patronage they
have bestowed upon me.

late struggle, when the New World was pitted
against the DID, but one thing l say in
honesty that did my best for the land of my
birth and dearest affections. | had opposed to
me one worthy of me, and whose activity

counter. Sprung from our own race, the
Americans inherit best qualities, and as
our conflicts with them have, in the process of

engendered by the late struggle for the cham
pionship pass away forever! Upon my own
part, and that of my children, humbly offer
to you my most grateful thanks, and | trust
to whatever period Providence will extend my
life, that no act of mine either in private or
in public life, will be unworthy of one who has
received the notice of the Times newspaper.
