Best Answer

In the first two paragraphs. Pierce says that he did not seek the Presidency and was apprehensive about the responsibilities, but that he was grateful for the vote of confidence and would do his best. A quote: " You summoned me in my weakness , you must sustain me by your strength". He concludes this paragraph by pointing out that the duties of the president have greatly increased in complexity during the last 25 years.
