Two Letters

The more you have to deal with his two faces
a face of gentleness and smiles towards them from whom he
himself capable of having every thing to fear — a mask face
of for those whom it is convenient to oppress,
and against whose resentment he looks upon himself
as secure. As for you, you have been too deeply injured
ever to be forgiven for for you are kept in reserve in these
of that of vengeance, which by having never been pounded
by provocation, is so much as the suspicion of provocation
is but the more implacable.
The choice you have is this: be patient and
submissive to the last, subord give up the strength of your cause abandon over the right
of self-defence all hope the right of ruling redress. You are
oppressed without a portion: prove your case — avail
yourself of the strength of your cause — Do not betray
yourself, you are voted set down for an angry man, you are
oppressed with a pretense: justice is denied you,
and denied you upon this pretense .. Give up
your cause forbear availing yourself of the strength
of your cause. — give yourself up, be to give
own ruin ruin offer your throat to the knife, and
you are oppressed still as certainly as before. you
are oppressed without a portion

their friends. I hear the equivalent in black and white What worse could be said of a man by
his enemies?
