I am much less suprized than shocked and dejected by
the state of things brought to my ear by the letter with which you
have honoured me. Natural as it was on some account that you should have been
to upon me for such a purpose the subject <hi rend="superscript">object of your address</hi>, yet on other accounts I
am the last perhaps the individual in the whole Kingdom
from by whose interference the cause could be most exposed to injury in danger of being most
injured. Against me the unfortunate relation which it was once my ill fortune to bear I once bore to the subject
considered, against me anything I could say one of those fallacies might which in the present
state of the public human mind operate with such deplorable efficiency
might may be played off with peculiar advantage: you yourself have
been a special sufferer, and to a degree not to be forgiven by the
abuse you set your face against, therefore it is no abuse. Such
is the logic which the nature of the case furnishes, and such logic
is unpacts in possession of being but too impassive.
