I feel deeply obligated to you for the kind and unselfish interest you have taken in my personal interest in this matter and shall continue with my whole energy and heart to try to repay you for past friendship, and to conserve the advancement of your highest temporal wishes - in which it is the nation now - that has your cause in keeping
