DEAR SIR When handed to Mr. Wilson your let.
ter to me, as Chairman of the Committee of Instruc-
tons, stating that you had long since determined to keep
aloof from pocs-but that you had been told bv vour
ncIgbors, that unless you instructed Mr. Wilson Tor
words To that eilect you would he set down ON fine a. her
side and that yon were utterly unwilling that you should
be considered as IN any way obstructng the efforts of
the Committee did not observe the last line AT the
bottom of the letter. in which you stated that Won wished
to be considered neutral; did know it till saw your
letter yesterday at Court If had should not have
entered your name the list of those who had instruct
ed Mr. Wilson TO vote against b. w Leigh For this |
owe you an apology and beg leave you that
never designed To take any improper liberty with Won.
hnt on the contrary to pay every possible respect the
dccacy which marked your in the communica-
ton Let me repeat, however, what stated in NV
last letter to Mr. Wilson, that your name was signed 10
no memorial, nor any instruction paper whatsoc yer
except uhe lctter TO me, signed 10y yourself. For
the Committee who directed the Secretary to file
i MI; Leachs letter among the papers, uucting Mr.
yWilson to votesAgainst benjamin w. Leigh / take
equal pleasure in assuring the Rev. Mr. Leach that
Tins liberty was entirely owing to Colonel Pcnick's
misrepresentation of the object Of the letter which was
scaled, and which turns TO be intention 10 consi

above, which probably, in the hurry of the moment

while busily engaged in taking each name on The sub

say that the only consequence of this error which can
be complained of is that it brings tie names Of YOU
ana MIR. Leach, unnecessarily, into the public prints
because, the proper destination of them and the
only one which could give effect to your will was
TO hand them TO MIR. Wilson, along with the Letters
