thoughl proper lo send where Lhc responsibilities of the Govern- ment exisled parl of the 500,000 sent as we understand lo Messrs Toby & Brothers, the credit of this agency would have been instantly restored and the requisitions made through Mr. Triplett immediately executed. l deeply regret that Lhe Executive, are so little acquainted with me, as not to feel sufficient confidence in my exertions, to entrust me with sufficient securities to maintain the credit of Lhe Government paper 1 have accepted. lt is my misforlune that six months of trial and exertion in a cause espoused by me, (when the very individuals who are now receiving the sale of public lands shntnk from the responsibility of the Agency) shouJd not have made me sufficiently known lo entitle me to the confidence of your Excellency. I will thank you to consider this communication as Confidential and as not to be used unless the proposals of Col Tripletl should Le rejected. You will do me also lite favour to consider it as dictated by a desire to maintain the public credit as my proposals if accepted can be of no individual profil to me. 1 bave the honour to be Sir, Your most obt servt.
