New YORK, Sept. 16.--Charles Francis

man in Brooklyn. who sent him copies of

in which it said: 1--WE have hopes that o

My Dear Sir: I cannot be but deeply
| moved by the voluntary expression of esteem
| which occasionally find in newspapers in
reference TO myself. l trust they may not
me think of myself better than ought to.
With regard to the suggestion made in the
articles which you call my attention to, l am
sure It would be very agreeable to me to un-
dertake the work, but Ihave already on my
hands quite as much as l can dare hope to
accomplish during my term of life, ap-
preaching SO near the three score and ten
prescribed as the limit of usefulness. If
do, shall have to make or run great risk of
leaving matters in confusion. It Is for this
reason that have been, perhaps, too indif.
ferent to the wishes of many who have de-
sired to have me called again into public life.
see nothing there just now which promises
happy results within short time. Mean.
while, am steadily releasing myself from
responsibility aud, II rot writing history at
least putting out of reach of accident the
valuable materials for writing it, which have
been placed In my hands, or which have
myself furthered In my own career. l doubt
whether ! could be made more useful to the
world in any other way. Pray excuse me
for this egotism, and believe me-"
Very traly yours, se
