" The obtaining the information how Mr. Tooke got a perufal
of documents that were to be chltroy d, is not the objcd of this
letter.

' Of the whole circutnftances conneded with this unhappy
affair, it becomes a duty incumbent upon me, to give a plain and
unadorned account of it to the public, and to thole friends who
are RiU interelted in my welfare, efp:cially after the letter of Mr.
Tooke.

" Having deßroyed (with the exception uf the challenge, a copy
of which was left fealed by me, on the night of th: ►R of May, and

notes, that had paired betwet n you and me, from the aBth of April,
Including that written at Kingiton on the morning of the ad May,
and from which Mr. Tooke has extracts; I troll you can have no
potbbk objedlion in allowing me espies of inch notes u are Rill
in your poffalion relative to this affair. lam Impelled to mike
this from the pureß motives, and fed deg, regret in the prefent
Rate of my own health and yours, to he sunder the painful fleet&
fity of making fur% application. Underflanding you are going to
be removed to Wimbledon. is an additional motive for my &log
fo. I am, Sirs your molt obedient humble frrvant,
" JAMES PAULL."

44 You will be pleafed to take notice, that the fot e-
going letter from Mr. Paull is the &it that reached
to the knowledge of Sir Francisßurdett ; that he was
an abfolute firanger to all that had been palling in
Weflminfier, except the final iefult ; to all the adver.
tilements of Mr. Paull; to all the advertifements and
meafures of the Gentlemen who condated the election
in his favlur ; to my former letter to the Editor of
the Timer ; and is now totally unacquainted with this
warning which I now addrefs to you.
si In this fituation, as rinn as he had read the fore,
going letter of Mr. Paull, Sir Francis dire&ed his bro.
ther to rourn the following anfwer to Mr.Wnlfeley :
MR. JONES BURDETI 'S NOTE TO MR WOL.SELEY.
" Sir—After all that has patred, my brother begs leave to de-
cline any further communication with Mr. Paull...

" I remain your obedient humble frrvant,
"_%I'II.I.IAM LONES DURDET'f "

-
Monday, May as, 1207."
MR. WOLSELEY S I.E 1 TER TO MR. JONES BURDETT.
" Sir—l am &fired by Mr. Paull to fay, that your brother is
perfeCtly at liberty, fir d prrAst, to decline complying with the
rept R made in Mr. Paull's letter of this morning, which I con
et•ivis was hut reafonable and proper, and nothing more than Lc
could have espected. 1 am, Su-, your matt 05edieut fervant,
" May kttb. C. 'WOI.SELEY."

u I perfuade myfelf. Gentlemen, that there is not a nun in the
kingdom who will not approve the refulation of Sir Franck Bur-
den, to have no future &leathern nor communication of any kind
with Mr. Paull.

•' Mr. Paull has had his ample opportunity (to which he was
not entitkd by any teafonable rule; of honour) of wrcalsing his
cavities revenge upon Sir Francis Burdett—and it is not owing
to Mr. Paull's want of inclination, but to the error of bit two
!hots, which he levelled for the yurpufe, that he did not min-
guifla the lift of his generous benefactor.
" After this, it would be merely a defpicable folly to revisit
menet any correfponclence with Mr. Paull. From perfons of his
dcfcription Shaktpeare has truly told us that—
"AU our fat:ly is remotion; and our defence, abfence."
" I ant, Gentlemen,
" Your obedient (errant,
Wimbledon, May 22, t 837. " J. HORNE TOOKE."
