SIR: If my note Of yesterday be Of doubtful
or uncertain construction, it resulted either |,
from the imperiection Of our language, or my
incapacity TO adapt it TO the purpose intended !
BY recurring 10 that note, you will discover
that my object was to call your attention to the
communication signed nuFraud," and to
know Of you if you intended, by that commu
nlcation, or any part Of il, to reflect on my
personal honor. If so, il was further designed
to suggest to you review Of those structures,
and then to demand Of your cundor, whether
tho tenor Of my alleged letter 10 Col. Birch, or
any act Of mine, justified such imputaton
Being thus in possession Of my object, and
purposes, and perceyng no further reason for
suspCnding your reply, shall await its reccp
ton at your earliest convenience.
The suggestion you have made concerning the
double relation by which Col. Birch has been
thus far connected with this transact ion, cou-
pied with the more ample explanation Of your
friend DR.. Scott, relieves that gentleman from
any embarrassment in declining tho further
prosecution of a { ~ witch he reluctantly as
sumed IN tho frs! 10 e, at my reiterated

Personally, have nought against You, and

deceive the democratic marty, and in that
matter my views remain wholly unchanged
