 Description: I have taken the presant opportunity of writing time, to write you a fiew lines for the purpose of answering your last letter which I recieved a fiew days since. You wrote as if I was trifling with your good nature. I would rather fall in the cause of our country than to blindfold you in any way. You ware mistaken in seeing a letter of mine to Miss Hiss as you stated. I recolect well at the last of my letter to her I had.- from your devoted friend and if you do'nt believe me I only ask you to look at it again none but Sam Fitch new my motive in writing her that letter it was for his benifit she had lost confidence in him, on account of some lies that had been told on him about her. Shee wrote to me stating that I was in Sams presance when he talked about her. She said that if the things ware true she was done with Sam for ever. It was all a lie that some of his enimies had made on him, through Sams persuasion I tried to write a forcible letter for I new that Sam still loved her. & I am sertain that she once loved him. I suppose if she was my devoted lover I would have written to her since wich I have never done. Very proberably this will be hard to believe put it is eaven so; your advice is good but in no way. I do'nt think that I have tried to fool any one & God forbid that I should. I have had blues ever since I recieved letter. I used to think that nature was to strong to be subject unto grief but alas it is far from it.
