DEAR SIR, The kind terms in which the Committee were pleased to communicate a request for a copy of the Address, which I had the honor to deliver on the third instant, hardly leave me free to deliberate. If it can be a means of gratifying any one, I do not feel at liberty to refuse it, and therefore hasten to comply with the wish expressed in this vote of the fifth instant. I am, Sir, Very respectfully your obedient servant, FRANKLIN AMES, Esq., Secretary. EMORY WASHBURN. |
