vanity, or you would see that when
you took a great mission, to mv ex
elusion, asserting that you had done
the best you could for me, vou com
mitted an act that bears such sem
blance of bad faith that even your
irienus cannot ueiend it.

North Carolina's quota beyond the

sulhcient to have conferred upon you
a great mission, with or without the
asking, and not enough to obtain tor
me a consular or other appointment
during the past two years, is so il
logical that it appears false on its
face, and at all events puts an end to
the absurd statement of your friends
that "you have done your best for
me."
