So I thought the best way to serve that appalling cad would be to take him at his word, and put in his literary contribution in full.

I have had made and attested a copy of his "Record," as he calls it, so as to save you trouble.

But I send the book itself, because I am afraid that unless you see his words in his own writing, you will not believe that he or anyone else ever penned seriously a document so incriminating.

I am sure he must have forgotten what he had written, for even such a dull dog as he is could never have made public such a thing knowingly.
