DEAR SIR,—Mr. Stoughton and myself fear that you may be troubled
by H. to–night.
If anything occurs, please inform the bearer, Mr. ——, of the
nature of the occurrence, and let the officer, if you are
arrested, explain to him the grounds of the arrest, and give him
any papers which the officer may serve on you; and also tell him
where Mr. Stoughton and myself can come and see you to–night.
Very respectfully yours, C. A. SEWARD.
