I would just observe, tho' the said T - - - - S H - - - - n, jun. the author of said letter, for sundry years past, has been a common nuisance to the public, as must partly appear by his letter, which he sent to me, open and unsealed, through I know not how many hands, and I believe with an ill intend, as he was never well intended, in anything he ever did. He used many little low arts, and asserted ridiculous things of me, to try to bring me as near as possible upon a level with himself; and not only me, but even every mag-
