"February 12. 1814.
"If you have copies of the 'Intercepted Letters,' Lady Holland
would be glad of a volume; and when you have served others, have
the goodness to think of your humble servant.
"You have played the devil by that injudicious _suppression_, which
you did totally without my consent. Some of the papers have exactly
said what might be expected. Now I _do_ not, and _will_ not be
supposed to shrink, although myself and every thing belonging to me
were to perish with my memory. Yours, &c. BN.
"P.S. Pray attend to what I stated yesterday on _technical_
topics."
