Lewis reluctantly to relieve him, and, because of his desire to make the matter as agree- able as possible to Mr. Norris, and because of the well known partiality of the surveyor general for myself, together with po- litical influence to a certain extent from friends (we were all simon-pure Democrats then), the supervision of these surveys was given to me,... then in my seventeenth year, and I established these guide meridians and standard parallels in the years 1853 to 1855.
