Chapter XXV From October 1866 to January 1868. - Out of Office, and in Business. - God's dealings - A Dream - Thoughts and reflections - Incidents and c. On the first of November 1866 I went out of office. That rare unclear, Andrew Johnson, acting President of these United States reformed President Lincoln's appointees out of office and his own particular unclear in, and my occupation as tax-gatherer was gone.

I tried to do my duty, and if I failed in any respect, or took any wrong means in doing it it must be laid to the charge of want of judgement, or the weaknesses of the old man, and I can only say, may the Lord forgive me. The peculiar trials of the situation caused me to rejoice rather than regret the loss of my position.
