I Judge W illiams'? reply to Gen. Jackson. ;
i Sparta, February S7, 1829. ,
After cop\ ing. from General Jack
son's letter to me, the report us sta
ted in his letter. I wrote as follows:
I can very frankly deny ever hav
ing written the letter spoken of by
the gentleman who wrote >o u from
Washington. hut I did write a letter
t?? a relation of mine, at that time in
liiehmond. The letter, if seen, would
show that it was designed as a confi
dential one. I do iii?i s?t this nine, re
collect accurately *hat ihe letter did
contain; 1 h<-licve. though, lean re
, member ? part, it not tin whole, oi
what ? intended at the time, and I
. will state it. as it is but just, that
what has been, by my means, private
ly circulated, should tie publicly a
vowed under the necessities of this
, case. ?
I Some time after ^lurr had passed '
} Nashville once or twice to the lower J
? country, before Mr. J.fTerson*s pro- i
clamation, in riding from (?em ral
Jackson's bouse to Nashville Men.
1 Ja kson, in reference to th;?t con
spiracy, or what was aft rwanls
called by others a conspiracy, sanl
to me. ?? that I could, if 1 would ac- .
cept it. obtain a commission of cap- j
i tain."
! Afterwards, during tlio sitting of
the couniy coiut of Suinurr. .?t a time
iVi'-ll I* \t 'Oil VlldersoM told III*' til'.it

I am not certain that the above
was contained in n?> private letter to

these statements privately, it i- but
just that I should now avow them. j

s astii 1 think I look some pains to in
quire into that circumstance. Some
time afterwards, our party* to show
their further indignation, burnt Burr
publicly in etligy. I have always be
lieved that during this Burr matter,
that Major t imon Dixon inlormed
me by letter, that General Coffee had ?
been engaged in procuring boats and
provisions tor Burr on Cumberland i
river, though the letter, if there was .
one, 1 cannot now find, and I have
examined for it. it was my under
standing at the time, that Col. Stoke- *
ly 1). Hays went off as one of Burr's '
men in his boats, and I ha\e never |
heard it disputed sinre. Col. llays ;
is a nephew of Mrs. Ja< kson. Al- f
though 1 never whs at lien. Jackson's
house with Burr, yet I am tolerably I
well satisfied according to my recol- j
lection at this time ol occurrences ?
then, that in the fall of ISOtiamI win
ter ol 1807 Burr ami lien. Jaakson
were vi t> intimate, and tliat Burr .
was frequently at the General's house.
The above is a statement of the most
prominent farts as to ey are lixed on
my recol lection If I am mistaken
about any thing, it is about dates,
