It must be absurd to terminate this unhappy

affair. The contemplation of the necessity

of any reference to the Secretary of State

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

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

be posted at the Club house.

I have strong

reasons however
