My DEAR Mr.. EvARrs: Your letter of December
81 accompanying that of Dr. Porter. has lain 10y
me for some time. The of delay in my reply
has not been the pressure of business for no amount
of pressure would have induced me to postpone 1t.
1t has been lingering hope-a hope, against hope
with the last remains of which am at length
compelled to see that i must part. l have
much to be thankful for i'll the measure OF
health, strength, and the possession of my senses
still vouchsafcd to after rather long and labo-
rious life. Nor. though l am very bad sailor,
should be debarred by the terrors of passage
across the Atlantic from accepting an invitation so
charged with kindness 1t is, indeed, that kindness
which suggests, though it does not constitute the
motive of discussion. i do not thlnk myself equal
to the effort Of visiting America and of encounter
ing its busy and prominently sympathlzing life.
With better consideration than Anchises must use
his words: -
vOs o. quibus integer avi.
sanguis. ait sOlidBque suo slant rObore vlros'
VOs agate fugam.
In declining, then, the proposal, beg You and
your colleagues to believe III the gratitude shall
ever feel for theI kindness, while would beg you;
on any suitable occasion, to submit my dutllui
respects to the President together with my heartest
wishes for the welfare and prosperity OF your great
country under his auspices. have the honor to re-
main, my dear Mr.. Evarts. very faithfully yours
