Dear Sir
I do assure you that I
			
am doing all in my power to get what
you want, One may think it may be easi-
ly and soon done, but it is not so, for
the belovdbeloved C—d And favourite fol-
lowers could do no harm therefore some
do all in their power to conceallconceal wha
they know, but to steal it from them
may be allowable, thothough it takes the
Longer time.
