PAPERS OF MIRABEAU BuoNAPARTE LAMAR
enable me to again take office that you would confer upon me as dis- tinguished a place as one of those I had heretofore occupied- . . _. _ In conclusion I have only to add that if you mean. to say iri the note I received from you to day that I ever in the most remote manner in- timated or acquiesced in a disposition to recall Gen Henderson you misrepresent me- and if you are unwilling to allow to an acquiescence in this declaration, and I call upon God to witness its truth to the best of my knowledge & belief I shall be compelled reluctantly to ask of you that redress which malicious and wanton misrepresentations of a gentleman entitle him to demand-
