Yes, l refer to the letter you wrote Of. You
will perceive by one of Anderson's letters,
which l enclose, that he values it very highly.

never get it or other papers he deems of value.
We have the power to extract his fangs should
he have the audacity to show them OF even at

documentary proof to sustain his assertion
regarding the matter in question.
