suffer for the offense, as they term it, that /
committed.
Resignation and patience, sir, although pos

treatment which | am forced TO endure. do

would, but hope the future will allow me an
opportunity to tell the world my story, and 7

States with that sympathy which your country
men always bestow upon politically oppressed
men,

keeper of the prison. who is an assassin, or some
thing like it.

You will give me the greatest consolation by

transport to me everything forwarded to him for
my benefit.

wishes for your welfare bslieve me, sir,
