do I beg of you consider all the connections we used to prize so much in this
country as not worth a single thought relating to my business. Foster, Lamb:
and even the family of our friend of all fellows whose letters you have sent me, are all calculated

I have it. Desire Porter to tell you what affair he has himself
a Court of Justice in this country where if I mistake not he knocked
down who enraged him. He will give you a pretty idea of the jurisprudence
this country: perhaps his colouring may be too strong but the facts will no

Porter asked a letter to you to be sent him
he shall have one which I suppose he will bring you as soon as
he has it but his arrival is not as yet certain as he stops by
the way.
