“ In closing the labors of this long and tiresome session—and as we are about parting, each to pursue his own path of life and death, it is impossible for me to express the sense of obligation I feel for the uniform courtesy and kindness which you have manifested towards me during our labors together. ”

“ It affords me pleasure to believe that nothing has occurred, since our meeting, to interrupt those feelings of friendship and respect for each other, which tend so greatly to individual advantage, and to correct and proper legislation. ”
