18.t,1 June 30, BARNARD E. BEE, WASHINGTON, [D. C.] •ro [MIRABEAU BUONAPARTEJ LAMAR, AUSTIN, [TEXASJ 00 -Confidential-- Washington June 30th 1841- My dear Sir, I wrote you _a private letter 100 a few days since through l\Ir Roberts- I need scarcely renew my acknowledgments-I feel there is nothing in your power that you would not bestow-Such confidence can never be forfeited- again receive my thanks! I write relative to .Mr. Dangerfield- Deeply chagrined-his feelings are some what miti- gated by the conviction- that the Individual prefered by you-is myself.! What ever others may have done- I have assured him that I have never named the Subject-(indeed I have always contended for Mr. Mclntoshs remaining-) but as he seems to think Genl Hamilton may have suggested me- and is rather alienated than excited by it I have confined myself to my own observations.- I am not surprised at Mr. Dangerfields mortification- visited any where as Minister- even introduced as such to Stanfer[ ?] at Galveston bv Judge Webb- he has had cause enough- If Mr. D. is in your confidence-and I have no doubt he is- I would suggest your writing and requesting his continuance in the Senate-and assuring him- that as soon as the Loan is available- The election over-and you can ascertain from your Successor- that any appointments you may make- will not be revolced-(for other wise in the present State of the Country I would not make a Single nomination-) that you will cheerfully confer one on him- Mr. Dangerfield has character and talents-and is most re- spectably connected in this Country- his positiQn as a Senator makes him Known at homes & I have no doubt your selecting him would prove satisfactory- he has too always been a warm supporter- The temper too in which he meets this Sore disappointment would I am sure- enhance him in ·your estimation- You will pardon my suggestions-- and if you do not approve will I am very sure be satisfied I have giYen them as my best convictions of what will tend to give you most satis- faction- ·
