fAs Ron. waltz O Grs.hnp Secretary NJ STATE.
Sra: have the honor to acknowledge re-
oeipt OF your letter OF the 2sth OF October. in
which you officially notify me that the Presi-
dent. by and with the advice and consent Of
the Senate. has appointed me Ambassador to
ITALY.
since the receipt OF your letter I have given
the matter my most serious and careful atten-
tion. and. as the result OF my reflections. havo
concluded to ask you to express to the Presi-
dent my decision not to accept the Office ton
dered me.
must beg that you will not infer from this
action any lack OF appreciation on my part OF
the honor conferred. On the contrary. | fully
comprehend the dignity. Importance, and re-
sponsibillty OF the position. and. having this
realization. may frankly add that the noml-
nation was extremely gratifying to me-not In
q personal sense merely. but more particularly
because Of the opportunity Afforded me Of
representing my country In such manner as
hoped might be satisfactory to the American
people and creditable to the Administration.
Among the comments upon my nomination
which appeared in the public press. one charge
only merits attention: not because 1t was true.
