Hon. R. jackson, Secy.

Maxfoo A.

Dear Rufus: n
have just received the very I
kind invitation to the banquet I
Of the Mexico Business Mems I
Association for your thought !
fulness in inviting me. OF \
course, 1t is impossible for me 7
to be with you, owing to the n
long distance and my work here. n
When the people of Mexico Join 4
ed with my friends In other 4
J parts OF the district and hon Y
3 ored me with my first cleo =
= ton TO Congress, in the graft. n
8 tude of my heart toward them 4
y ] declared that they deserved 4
8 the best service that II was DOS. !,
: sible for me to give them, and n
s to this end l resolved to never \
J be absent from the sittings of n
J Congress. The first few years I 7
: could probably have absented m
: myself frequently without my n
: district suffering particularly. m
s and ] could have added many d
: lecture fees to my scanty purse n
5 but stuck to my resolution un- n
: I'll now | am so busy with my n
: duties that | could not leave no =
matter how much | might de. n
sire to do SO. The Democrats
Of the House have, wisely or
unwisely, made me their leader. n
J 1t is a high honor, but like most D
J high honors, 1t requires hard
service and adds many respon-
] sibilities. Among these labors n
can always find time to think a
J kindly and work willingly for
the people of my district, the
] best people In the world and 4
my earliest friends. Every time n
! can do them a service 1t gives n
me pleasure, and 1t shall al. n
ways, as long as l live, give n
me pleasure to contribute in n
every way possible to the wei. n
flare Of the people of Mexico. / 4
hope you viii have a delight. q
] full evening and | only wish l 7
could be with you. 4
