; JACKSON, Feb. 7, 1867
Col. IRBY, House of Representatives
Dear Sy-To you, and through Won IL
the House of Representatives in which the
Resolution originated, inviting me to nd.
dress, that body, and the public generally,
desire to express grateful thanks for the
courtesy shown me. You are aware how
little it was in my contemplation to make
any public address in tho city of Jackson.
An intimation of willingness to hear me.
coming from SO high a source, has q great
and proper weight with me, but upon ma
ture reflection, am unable to satisfy myself
that compliance on my part with their
wishes would lead to good results. Our
country is utterly unsettled, and each day
new events may call for a new and different
policy. positive and emphatic enuncia-
tiOn of principles and views to-day might
work an injury in the changed condition of
things of tomorrow. For this reason. and
Others purely personal, must decline the
invitation given me.
Trusting that your Legislative action may
enure to the credit and honor of our beloved
but oppressed State and again thanking the
House of Representatives for the high honor
done me,
am dear sir, your friend and servant.
