usurpalion is substantially correct. know Of
nothing essential that l could add to or take
from it, except. perhaps. this fact, which you
fail to mention Shortly after the interview
referred to in your letter terminated you csm
to my seat 10 the Senate chamber and remark
ed to me that 'tbe Governor had mentioned
that matter ABOUT Gen. johnson to you. aud
you thought it would be all right" tbiuk l

the gentleman who had asked me to see you 10
regard 10 the matter. do not deem it neces
ssry to give 10 detail what occurred between us !;
l would scarcely attempt to do 80, as our inter.
view was very hurried, but think all that
passed has been substantially stated.
Permit me to add that very much regret
this unpleasant correspondence and apparent
cophict in-lhe statement of fact between your
self and The Governor but l am satisfied that
with you both it il mere matter Ct memory
and cot of intention, such az We witness every
day 10 our practice Is lawyers, between geotle
men of the highest character, teetitylDg to any
detailed statement of facts. hope it may
soon terminate. may add, also, that l regret
it because it has cccasioned the withdrawal of
Gen. johnson from the case. believe bis ser.
