My dear Sir John Hennessy
I saw Mr. Gibbons yesterday and had a long conversation with him on the subject of his differences with the Chief Justice.
I found him quite beyond the reach of reason or remonstrance. I told him that the Governor is very anxious to bring about some accommodation, which I thought might be arrived at by some concessions on his part.
