I have often admired your scholarly and spiritual expressions, and your modest life, and you will remember that at one time I asked you for your autograph, and you told me to go where the worm dieth not and the fire department is ineffectual.

The power confided to me will be used to hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the government, and collect the duties and imposts.
