May I beg you to inform me if
you can give me any authentic
intelligence on this interesting
subject, or put me into a way of
obtaining it. I scarcely however
need guard you against stating
any particulars, which although
you may have yourself given
assent to them, you cannot be said
to know from any thing like decisive
authority. Of course you may be
assured that I will strictly observe
any injunctions of secresy [sic] which
you may think proper to prescribe.

But I am persuaded you must

[page 2] 139
feel with very human mind an
earnest desire to check the practice
of such enormities if they really
exist.

I am
Sir
Your faithful Serv

P.S.
A complaint in my eyes causes me
to write by another hand.

Mr Hassall
