as corroborating the statements in Sumner's suppressed speech. This letter was written only eight days after the death of Lord Clarendon, the event which, according to Secretary Fish, fixed the time for Motley's removal. The letter was written after much reflection. The report of the contemplated removal must have gained circulation and credit more than a week before the date of the letter to have enabled Wilson to give much attention to it. United States Senate Chamber, Washington, July 5, 1870. President grant—Dear Sir: After much reflection I have decided that duty demands that I should write to you my views touching the proposed removal of Mr. Motley.

Right or wrong, this will be the construction put upon it. Can you, my dear Sir, afford to have such an imputation rest upon your administration? Mr. Motle
