After 4 the "expreessioiia used by,you on hat . occasion, disclaiming any unkindnett, j personally, towards me, and also disclaim ing on the fart of your friend any in- " tention to vole for a Whig, in any con"' tingency, jmv feelingt prompted me" to j rcciprocatetlie tame tentimentt, While 1 state thit, frankness -requires 1 that 1 ahould also say, that 'subsequent to that conversation, I learned that Voar cours had, in tome retpeeis, tint been 1 characterixed by kindnert towards me.
