| − | letter, [[underline]] without loss of time [[/underline]]. I am
| |
| − | very sorry, any [[underline]] inconvenience [[/underline]], is felt

| |
| − | as to the 1000£ legacy, and my other
| |

| − | as my chief anxiety is, to give Him
| |
| − | [[underline]] recurring [[/underline]] cause of offence, after his singular
| |
| − | attention to me and my little
| |
| − | Boys. The fact is, the story is so clear
| |
| − | and my conduct so honorable in life
| |
| − | that if properly explained, [[underline]] pity [[/underline]] , must
| |
| − | soon follow resentment. I am not the
| |
| − | first Officer, [[underline]] high [[/underline]] or [[underline]] low [[/underline]] in [[underline]] rank [[/underline]], who
| |
| − | cannot honor, to a [[underline]] moment [[/underline]], his note
| |
| − | of hand: there is no [[underline]] culpability [[/underline]] in
| |
| − | it if the 1000 £ was ever due me
| |
| − | as [[underline]] first legal opinions state [[/underline]], so it
| |
| − | must [[underline]] remain [[/underline]] for [[underline]] Ever [[underline]] But if 5 £
| |
| − | was only wanted to pursue the cases [[unclear]]
| |
| − | [[unclear]] [[underline]] payment [[/underline]] of It.
| |
| − | I have it not, so help me God, me
| |
| − | and mine, Literally want Bread, or
| |
| − | at least, [[underline]] all but Bread, in [underline]] these times [[/underline]]
| |
| − | we have but 82 £ in all a year [[unclear]]
