“ N
os. of Hel-vi-s. The last to wit N
o. 5 contained two paragraphs the one relating to the accession of S. & P. to the war against F. the other to the answers of
the P. to the addresses on his proclamation, which I particularly requested you to revise, and if improper, to erase. The
whole piece was more hurried than it ought to have been . . . I mention this as the only apology for the gross error of fact
committed with respect to the term neutrality, which it is asserted the P has not used in any of his answers . . .”

I sincerely lament the situation in which you are unhappily placed. though circumstances have worn such an aspect as to render
it necessary in the opinion of the magistrate to subject them to a legal enquiry, yet I hope they will be found finally inconclusive.
but till that enquiry, there is no power in this country which can withdraw you from the custody of the law, nor shorten it’s
discretion. I learn that your cause will be taken care of by able counsel and I am sure you will have upright judges. under
such circumstances, innocence has nothing to fear; & that that innocence may be yours is the sincere hope of Sir
"
Your very humble servant
"
