His Excellency M. B. Lamar,
P.res of the Republic, Dear Sir:
·when I had the pleasure of meetini?· you last in Houston, your time was so-much ocenpird in the ori?aniza- tion of the new administration, that T did not feel justified in obtrudeing political opinions upon you. If any further apology could be wanting in my now writeing you a political letter, it may be found as well i"n the exigencies. of the country as in the political relationship I have held to it nearly up to the present time; and in addition, I never have given a political opinion that I was not willing, nay, prefered it should be of record forever after to con- front any fluctuation of judgment so incident to political life. l\fy character will justify you in believing, that no man either in or out of the country could more heartily rejoice in your elevation to the first office in the Republic; not so much on account of our per- sonal relations, as my belief in your political integrity and public zeal. With these feelings, I venture to approaeh your Excellency·
