case of Treason and Conspiracy can be clearly
supported- Against Edward Frost and Ebenezer
Williams 41 & 44 I have stated to the
Magistrates that the cases are not sufficiently
important to proceed against But in the cases
referred to I wish to know what course I am

course the Crown will take that I may
prepare accordingly

And I am my Dr Sir

Yours faithfully
