Burr was given the third ticket and, as he says in Mis journal, to prevent all possible contingencies, he walked di- rectly from the Louvre to Afile, St. Clair’s to place it In her hand, To his third visit to Denon must de ascribed his success fn finally securing his passports, for the Duc de Bassano brought the matter to the personal attention of the Emperor. Napoleon gave him. passports with the understanding that he would return to France and enter the French army. He reached New York months later and, efter many hard- ships and although heavily in debt and well nigh penniless loyal “friends gnve him e@ hearty welcome. , Tt was early in the month of January in the year 1818. Burr @at at his desk in Col. Troup’s office, The latter, who was suffering from gome slight physical ailment. had gone home. The hour was between 1 and 2 o'clock. During the morning @ long stream. of visitors had had its wants at~ tended to and had departed. Burr hed just returned from fie coffee-house where he hed obtained his lunch and was smoking a cigar. It was with difficulty that he had found sufficient money to pay for the modest meal which he had enjoyed. ‘The office door was opened suddenly and Blennerhassett's old servant, Ransome, entered. The old negro's face was Veaming with smiles, and as Burr advanced toward him with outstretched hand he emitted one of those oily, unctuous chuckles, the vocal construction of which he had evidently not forgotten. Burr oried: “Welcome, Ransome! Your old bigck face looks brighter than an angel's to me, for you bring me tidings from my daughters, Theodosia and Gamp. Speak! Are they well?” “There ‘tis, Massa Burr," cried Ransome, holding a letter aloft in his. band. In an instant Burr had taken possession of it, “Tt {s from ‘Theodosia; it is her writing, Sit down, Ransome, while I read my letter. Now ‘I shall hear from. Theodosia and Gamp.” Burr opened the fetter ang, with an eager glance, began to peruse it. He had read @ fow lines when the smile died out of his face and a look of qgony took its place. Ransome had kept his eyes fixed upon the reader, and when he saw the change in his expression, he asked “Bad news, Massa?’ “Yes,” said Burr, slowly, “bad news and good news. My @ariing boy, my namesake—my Gamp—our Gamp, ts dead. Poor Theodosia! how lonely she will be.” Ransome’s honest old black face showed his sorrow: “Poor Bamb! We had such nice times together. He ways stood up fer Uncle Ransome—yes, Massa, he called me Uncle. But the good news, Massa?" “The good news, Ransome, is that my daughter ts com- Ing to New York to eee her father after a separation of al- most five years.” Again the office door was thrown open; this time to admit the man who was unifed by the closest bonds to Burr—his son-in-law, Joseph Alston, Aaron Burr, defeated for President by Jefferson, becomes Vice-President, kills Alexander tm a duel and be- Wilkinson, whom he belloves has a secret understanding with jefferson.” Kate Embleton quarrels with her lover, Frederic feampaign in the Southwest.
