giving out this proposal

It must be absurd to terminate this unhappy

affair. The contemplation of the necessity

of any reference to the Secretary of State

is to me most distasteful & distressing

His Excellency

my dear

Very truly yours

Dear Sir John

I

May 23 ? 1856

thank you for your

letter of this day's date and shall be

happy to leave the terms

of

the apology

to be settled in the manner suggested, but as I mentioned to your Excellency,

the apology whatever it may be must be a public

one. It must

be posted at the Club house.

I have strong

reasons however
