i ho receipt of your letter of this date sent

; Majesty's navy.
; Some of the facl^bontained in your comj
muniealion are new to me; and had they
been known lo me. I should not have un
dectaken to modify the Gusto^n House reg

I must beg. iea$o Jo say that J was entirely
igiioraniof the"mortgage to tlie13rit|
ish Government of the Custom IIou?e receipts
Ht this port. Assuredly I have no
liltention'lo divert from their proper course
any funds mortgaged to the British crown.
If any Cu9tom House receipts have been

Touching the fulfillment of the treaty

that if you deem it your duty to re?,,

[shall do notbii g consistent with honor^^'
prevent your execution of wHftfc you

under the yircumstanees, regard ill'

i And we believe he died at last, as lie would
5 have chosen, caring for those who had been
( committed to his charge. Hear him on the
^ ^first alarm, giving his deny orders with wigo
and <f)ol decision; lig1 telling the steamer,
r bretFk ing open the state rooms, lest some ono
l should go from sleep to death, gathering thu
frightened flock upon the hurricane deck; and
^ whfQ'at last, that frail raft broke like nu eggshell
into five fragments, sec him tlien, with
the little fleet around him, speaking hopefu'
Wprds, giving one the lift, of his siout heart,
i another the lift of his strong hand, risking his
[ life every moment of that long and fata' voy?
