"Your Excelleucy is well aware Of the
opposition that for the past four months
have met, and am stil meeting with, in my
endeavor to bring about this settlement be-
tween Virginia and her creditors. That the
settlement is emipently adyantageousto the
State | am we'll aware, but am well salts
fed that in making it the State, in view of
her condition, is DESTROYS of being eminently
fair and lust to her creditors. Therefore,
should greatly regret to see the State
thwarted in this great effort so strenuously
and persstently made By your Excellency
to regain and establish her credit on firm
basis in the markets OF the world.
"Well satisfied Of the good faith Of Vir-
ginia, shall have no objection to striking
out from section Is the jurisdiction therein
given to The Federal courts aud vesting the
same in the courts of the State.
Il have the honor to be your Excellency's
most obedient and humble servant,
