the presence OF Judge -(who though now

follows:

the letter spoken of by the gentleman who wrote
you from Washington, bu, did write letter
10 a relation of mine, at that time in Richmond.

if not the whole, Of what in,endcd at The time;
and will state it, as il is but just that what has
been by my means privately circulated, should
be publicly avowed under the necessities Of this
case.
Some time after Burr had passed Nashville
once or twice, to the lower country, before Mr..
jeff; rson's proclamation, in riding from Gtn
Jackson's house to Nashville, Grn. Jackson, in
reference to that conspiracy, or what was after
wards called by others conspiracy, said 10 mr.,
tina, could If would accept it, obtain aSssn
mission Of Captain"
Afterwards, during the sitting Of the County
Cour: of Summer, al time when Patton An
derson told me that either Burr or Adair, or
both Of them, were al Gen. Jackson's house, in
4 room of tavern then kept by Edmond
Crutcher, Gen. Jackson said to me-"I think
Judge Stuart was then in the room axe
