Replying to this I beg to say that I do not wish to be understood as originally endorsing the move, but after considerable agitation by some of our citizens I did consent and took part in appointing a committee to simply investigate what could be done and whether as it ^was^ contended by some to say as a absolutely done legally, and to report their findings before any definite action should be taken, but that I at first countenanced the action of [illegible] misconduct I most emphatically deny.
