him that he has only been Lieutenant Governor and thereby President of State Senate from January 1st, 1867 to January 1869
and apologizes for the delay in answering the note. The second letter, dated August 26th, 1876 and written on official stationery

will do so. The third letter, dated September 11, 1884 and written on official stationery of Arnoux, Ritch & Woodford at 18
Wall Street, New York, is to General C. W. Darling in Silver Lake, Brandon, Vermont about receiving Darling's invitation to
