opportunity of forming

a correct

decision and am willing to set it off

against the other. But the verdict of

the Jury

was not to the effect that the

Defendant had proved his special

plea

which in culpability but that

the prosecution has not by its evidence

substantiated its accusation that

Favant brought the government

into

contempt - If I were to write

at all I must write at

full length

And when

my long letter arrived in

June the whole interest of the matter

would be over.

Officially therefore

I shall not write although

I

am

obliged to you for your suggestion.

The only thing that I should wish

would be a thorough investigation into

the whole

of my

conduct in this and

all other matters while in

office.

Yours sincerely
