"such laudable intentions. commendable wishes views. I need not recal to you the feasts we
"have so often given ourselves treated our imaginations with, when we have been contemplating the
"progress of improvement in that rising country. I would strain a

"of such a business. I don't see however how we can well settle

"that as soon as the Court Martial is over if Mr Sambouski
"continues to think of me in the same light, I will to come to town".
