We must remember that the people of all the States are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the citizen of the several States.

As to your kind wishes for myself, allow me to say I can not enter the ring on the money basis--first, because, in the main, it iswrong; and secondly, I have not, and can not get, the money.
