Perhaps, however, frankness, after all, is what is due to you and most properly will explain any shortcoming on my part, which, of course, would be apparent to you. I had the pleasure and good fortune to cross the Atlantic with General Porter and Mr. Depew, and having known them for years, we were much together and increased our intimacy, to my very great satisfaction. One day, refer- ring to this dinner, to which we had been courteously in- vited before we left New York, we talked of the remar...ks that we might be called upon to make to-night, when it was agreed that we should each write out what he pro- posed to say and submit the paper to his companions, in order that neither might speak on the same subject. This I did, in good faith. Imagine my astonishment, when Mr. Depew arose and spoke, to hear him repeat my speech; and when General Porter followed, to listen to the remarks that Mr. Depew had written out. Nothing has been left to me, for I will not inflict upon you what General Porter truly thought not good enough to use of his own preparation and which is all that has been left to me to say.
