From E. M. Holt.
Holts Store 30th March 1861.
I am much pleased to hear that your health is improving. I would
have gone down to see you during our court week but did not like to
intrude on you after your incessant labours at Washington. I have not
language to express my mortification at the conduct- of some of the citi¬
zens of Alamance county. I was not aware that we had in our midst
men so destitute of principle and who could stoop so low as to be guilty
of so base falsehood. I have charity enough yet to believe that our
people would act right if left to think for themselves.

I received your favor of 20th Ulto in answer to mine of 16th in due
course. I have very much to thank you for, your kindness has been
uniform and great and, I trust, I may yet prove myself worthy of your
regard and esteem. T shall rest my case entirely upon the letter of
yourself and one which I had the pleasure to receive from Govr. More-
head, and should I be removed I trust I shall bear it- with philosophy
and resignation returning to the bosom of my native State to share her
fortunes and her destiny.
