Description
-
Writes that Harding's kind and appreciated note on 17 September came today and he wants to reply quickly to Harding's kind sentiments. Writes that if he has been of service to Harding, which it was certainly in his power to be on the occasion that Harding refers to, Harding has "more than repaid the slight obligation by the manliness with which you at once entered upon your new position - by the honor in which you always maintained the good name I had given you and last but not least by the honest fruitfulness with which you have always stood by me through evil and good report: fighting for me as for yourself." Clark is grateful that he is worthy of Harding's good friendship. Writes that he will always remain Harding's friend, and Harding can count upon him for anything. Hopes that Harding will write to him occasionally, if he is not too busy with his business pursuits. The General left tonight for Louisville and Cincinnati, and Mrs. F will be with him on his return. If possible, Clark will resign because he is tired of living this way and wants to go home.
