decided according to what you say, and it will also be very difficult to let you, Sir, know what it will be. But I think that the crime of these two prisoners may be said not to be a capital offense according to the laws. I humbly beg you, Sir, not to be anxious about them, and respectfully return this note in reply, wishing you at the same time every happiness.
