My dear Mr.. LAMAR:
When determined to nominate you to position
upon the Bench of the Supreme Court the personal
qualification afforded by the tender to you OF SO
honorable aud suitable a place and the satisfac-
tory conviction that an important executive duty
would be performed well, led me almost to forget
that my action involved the loss of your conscien-
tious and valuable aid and advice in Cabinet couu-
ofls which for nearly three years have SO much
enjoyed and appreciated.
Your note of to-day forces me to contemplate this
contingency with the most profound and sincere
regret But since know that the separation you
now insist upon arises from that conce ptIon OF pub
lie duty which has always so entirely guided your
conduct in our official relation am constrained to
only anticipates your entrance upon the dlschsrge
of higher and more congenial functions than those
now relInquished.
What have thus far written seems very formal
indeed. intended this because am sure that the
close confidence and the relations OF positive aHec-
tion which have grown no between us need
no expression or Interpretation. And yet L
find 1t utterly impossible for me TO hnlsh
this note without assuring you that the
tnIngs which have characterized your conduct
and bearing in the position from which you
now rctlre-all your devotion to your country ahd
your chief; your selfsacrihcing care and solclta-
Il u for pubic interests; ali the beneht which your
Official services have conferred upon your fellow
