Here is another: Both the pleasant recollection of our past relations and a sense of gratitude I owe you for your generous sympathy for my country I experienced when 37 years ago I. a poor. wandering exile. pleaded Its cause before the libertyloving people of your great Republic. that stupendous incarnation of pure democratic principle which has the providential nation to guide the futureages of mankind on the road of Infinite progress. make me most sincerely regret that my extreme old age (87 years). the infirmities naturally inherent to it. the more than a quarter of a centurys disuse of writing anything for publication in English. and the habitude of reserve grown to a second nature by my absolute seclusion from all social intercourse. compel me respectfully to decline the honor which. overestimating my abilities. you are kind enough to proffer to me. I am conscious that the poor remnant of forces still left to me would be utterly inadequate to satisfy you and condignly to answer the high dignity of the solemn occasion which prompted your request.
