Both in the letter and poetry you give me
too much credit. dear sir. | AsSur" you the
part | have played has been very modest. |
have only tried to initiate what your people
did a century age, and do what | considered
my most sacred duty. Our revolution WAS
not ot lndlN NiduaiS. bUt al The Mhuie people,
and for the whole nation. A. you well remrm
brr some eight years ago We were most uu
Justly divided into SrYrTa! pieces 10y the Btr-
lin congress. This measure Was contrary to
the spirit Of the age and the interests Of the
nation. consequently II could not remain aS
permanent arrangement. our last revolution
was therefore Inevitable. To Justify ourselves
IN the act before Europe, Wc took the greatest
possible care IN upSeitiuE the old government,
and achieved the whole revolution without
shedding "A single drop Of blood. Further
more. when one uf our ntlEhbuTs. >trNta,
proved silly enough To invade our country, Ne
fought like lions against the invaders, Won
glorious battles and drove them away at great
expense of treasure and blood. Still. how
ever. humane Europe chose not IL grant US all
that We so SaCrihciugly struggled for. When
thus treated 10y some European powers. You
can imagine how gratifying II is Ia Us all when
We hear Of SympathILIuE voices from across
the ocean. May God be always with you; and
in uphOdinE and protecting you make You
ever the friends and defenders of liberty and
of the freedom and welfare OF all the feeble
Christian natIunalitles throughout the world
