About This Item
asking why he is "to receive such repeated messages from Mr Walsh and his insulting solicitor. They know my determination to abide by Sir Saml Romilly's opinion and why shd I be again asked about Count Rice? He is a poor Moravian Minister now at Bristol with the mere German title of Count but this is nothing to me I must act as the law directs.
