I was no way prepared. With whatever
diffidence and distrust a man may view
! his own qualifications for a particular
service, life may and does bring to him
duties which he must essay to meet. In
this light 1 view the request you make of
me-, to permit the use of my name as a
delegate to the Constitutional Conven-
ton, shortly to be convened in this State,
and accept your callsto service. with a
keen appreciation the hon6f You de-
sire: to give me.
Respectfully.
vIRGINIUs NEWTON.
