pressed the same desire on several occasions

accepting the resignation, takes occasion to
express the opinion that the late Secretary has
and that he is entirely innocent of all the
charges made against him. In closing his let
ter he says: ~ now believe that you have
filled every public trust confided to you with
ability and integrity. 1 sincerely trust that

ton of the public, and that you will continue
to enjoy its confidence, as you have done
through so many years of public and official

subscribe myself, very truly your obedient
servant, U. s. GRANT
