answering—if you are offended with me—I repeat
that I have done nothing to deserve your displeasure
If you doubt what I say & think that I have ne—
glected to use any exertions in the procuring my
warrant—write yourself to Mr Eaton & he will
tell you that more exertions could not have
been—the appt might have been obtained for
June if the application had been made 2 months
sooner & you will remember that I was under
the impression that you were making exertions
to obtain the situation for me, while I was at
Old Point & so situated as to be unable to use
any exertions of my own—On returning home
nothing had been done—it is therefore unjust
to blame me for a failure, after using every
endeavour, when success was impossible
rendered so by your own delay— | | | Similar Items: | Find |
