To Griffinhoof Bafala
Another consideration, though if a personal view may
even on your part not be altogether without claim to notice.
Personal safety, if it be so far as in these times it is to be had or a consideration
at no time to be neglected. Addressed to me as it is may not your
letter be a libel? my answer to it another libel? and
taken together the two letters may they not constitute a conspiracy to bring the gov his
Majestys Government into hatred and contempt? A libel what

of whom something

as to you, against
any such unpleasant

name of office the
name of Grand Jury
Man - may perhaps
be a protection. At
any rate by him - this
is of the number of an
English Institution
which we are bid to love
