Daniel D. Tompkins, Reply to the New York senate, 5 October 1814

Gentlemen,

The enlightened view which the Senate has taken of the great events, that have lately transpired, and of their probable influence upon the interests and destiny of the United States, displays wisdom and patriotism worthy of that dignified body. Their favorable notice of my official conduct, in the recent emergency, receives the most respectful acknowledgments; & a continuance of their approbation, is the highest reward to which I aspire.

DANIEL D. TOMPKINS.
