of mine, fell into my hands, as above, I could do no otherwise than avail myself
of, as a necessary means of preserving myself from indigence.
But I know of no degree of indigence that would
have compelled me either only to offer to abandon, or,
willingly to while the contrary was in my power, ever to
consent to abandon, the joint cause of the public and
the prisoner — of public economy and moral reformation
which I had so long been in hope to serve to which for so many years long a course of years I had been
permitted to flatter myself with the hope of rendering such essential service.

Even now where that, by the [exercisable] strong hand of power
this hope has in conclusion been taken from me, and with it the
slender and inadequate resource just mentioned, never
has be would a word so hateful as this of compensation
had become, to me, issued either from my lips
m from my pen or from my lips, had it not been
forced into them by the same irresistible hand: and now of late lately
