Reply to Mayor George H. Thacher at Albany, New York1Jump to section

February 18, 1861

MR. MAYOR: I can hardly appropriate to myself the flattering terms in which you communicate the tender of this reception, as personal to myself. I most gratefully accept the hospitalities tendered to me, and will not detain you or the audience with any extended remarks at this time. I presume that in the two or three courses through which I shall have to go, I shall have to repeat somewhat, and I will therefore only repeat2Jump to section to you my thanks for this kind reception.
