I should wish to know the extent of such false charges, that I might at [unreadable] expose his vilany - I have thought I might trouble you with this letter & request the favour if you [unreadable] [unreadable] a convenient opportunity to endeavor to asser- tain the extent & probable effects that his Slander has had, or may have? what his charges or [unreadable] are? & whether there is any other evidence [unreadable] his [unreadable] declarations? & if any what? As in respect [?] the State appointments I
