NO. I.

Sir:

You are reputedly the author of a work, lately published,
and styled Randolph; for this reason you will readily
understand why the son of William Pinkney requires you
to disavow unequivocally in writing, any agency in the
publication of the work, in question. I await your answer
.

And am sir, very respectfully, &c.
EDW. C. PINKNEY.
John Neal, Esq.
