From Congressman Hensley.

I lam writing you this my last let
ter as go out of Office. The people
of the district have been universally
kind to me and thank them all from
the bottom of my heart. When take
a retrospective view of my career in
Congress I feel that perhaps I have
not accomplished as much as should
have accomplished and find that
feeling common with most Members;
and really am glad that ! feel that
way, because if I did not the COM
placency which would follow would
be tantamount to lack of interest.
I assure you that have put my very
best effort into the service Doubtless
have made mistakes, but have done
my level best to serve my country and
my people, as the good Lord has CIV
on me wisdom to see and understand
my duty. / have not seen time that
I would not sacrifice everything for
my country; and as has been the
burden of my talks over the district
in my campaigns, appeal to you to
study public questions, study public
men and do not take the headlines in
the metropolitan press for your guide,
but discharge your duty fearlessly
and conscientiously.
Our boys did that and did it gallant
ly in the late war. had the privilege
of seeing some Of the ground that our
boys fought ever and I shall ever
cherish the experience that I enjoyed
on that occasion notwithstanding that
] WAS made sad by the awful sacrifices
that our brave boys had to make.
Now, If they did that in war times, let
not US in peace times be derelict and
fail in any particular to do our duty in
order to perpetuate this republic and
it's great institutions. Let us do our
utmostto see to it that the nations are
not embroiled in war again, If pos
sible.
Again thanking you and hoping the
best may be yours throughout this
life as well as in the next, am,
Your friend,
