The date of my
Examination

the Order
for printing the
Report will
serve to shew the
reluctance with
which it came:
or rather was

My The great business/endeavour difficulty
was saying
but the truth
to avoid saying
the whole truth
and in short to
say as little as
could be said without
absolutely betraying my
own cause. Accordingly My
stud great care
throughout was
to impersonalize
and generalize
every thing. The
Committee seeing
that the business
would not altogether

amongst other things
that Battersea Rise
was promised to
me five times over

after amusing me for
four months, informs
me that if I can

me Battersea Rise

Temporary Penitentiary

the contamination
of the Hulks.
