but the letter you produced ie a fah. one.
The letter was presented to the primmer, and he cried—
"lt is forged! Oudefroy eau imitate all sore of hand-
writing. It is alleged that I extorted the promissory mks ;
but it was sent to me after I .as in prison by Madame
Godefroy. If she had owed me nothing she would not
