Sir, —SENSIBLY imprefieri with the faithful and irp
r’rght manner in which you have difclr.uged your duty as
Colleftor ot the Cuftonis of this Port, we finccrely regret
your return to private life, and the more so, as your cftl
cial coiiutiel has been marked bv the highest fenfo of inte
grity and impartial justice. As t!ie warm friends of our
country, we are feniible that none of herqiublic 11-rvjints
have difdiarged their duty with more reftimde, or win lb
ableiice Iroin public service will be more warmly regretted.
Poiiibiy it is among the mbft difficult parts cf human con
duft to give general fatisfaftion in the difeharge* of a pub
lic trust; but your fellow citizens here will render you this
tribute, and we might lltfely fay our opinion was only the
organ of-general approbation. In von, fir, we deplore-the
loi's ot a valuable public officer, and a friend; one whoft- ’
amiable department hi difeharging the various duties of an
important office foftened the asperities of business. May
you, fir, in the arms of domestic comfort, under the pro
teftiug hand of Providence, loon re-establish your impaired
state of health, and live long to enjoy that public eftimati
-011 which your virtues merit, is the cordial willi cf,
Your sincere friends and follow citizens,

Savannah, I JI November, 180 T.
Gkmtlkmen,—l MUST apologifo for my delay in
acknowledging the receipt of your friendly address of the
20th ult. A levere and afllicling indifpefition, from which
I am scarcely a moment exempt, has been the unavoidabla
cause.
ITe afTeftionate language you have adopted to convey
your fontim.ents of regret on my return from public to pri
vate life has awakened correspondent emotions of gratituda
and refjieft. To merit the good opinion of my fellow
l citizens has long been an object of my ambition; and to
receive this testimony of the efteeni of a final!, though re
fpeftablc portion of them, affords a gratification not eaiily
expre (fed.
1 hough to err is the lot of humanity, yet my confidence
tells me that I have dificharged the trust repolcd in me with
vigilance, industry, and integrity; more, I prefiume, could
not lie required. *
To please a whole community, divided by party anitno
fity, is beyond the compass of human ability; but lb to
have conducted the minute details of an office, the duties
of which are numerous, inceiEint, and important, as to
give fatisfaction to thole immediately comiefted with it,
to me a I‘ource of real plealure and conlblatioii.
In retiring to private life, to know that I carry with m
the efteeni and good willies of a large class of worthy, re
fpeftable citizens, will no doubt have its influence in re
pairing, if poftible, a confutation almost worn out by con
stant fatigue and anxiety.
1 hat you may long pro!per and be happy is the finccrc
prayer of, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES POWELL.
