I have actually in my present possession a formal letter directed to Mr.Wortley to acquaint him with the whole business.
You may imagine the inevitable eternal misfortunes it would have thrown me into, had it been delivered by the person to whom it was intrusted.

I wish you would make him sensible of the infamy of this proceeding, which can no way in the world turn to his advantage.

Did I refuse giving the strictest account, or had I not the clearest demonstration in my hands of the truth and sincerity with which I acted, there might be some temptation to this baseness; but all he can expect by informing Mr.
Wortley is to hear him repeat the same things I assert; he will not retrieve one farthing, and I am for ever miserable.

I beg no more of him than to direct any person, man or woman, either lawyer, broker, or a person of quality, to examine me; and as soon as he has sent a proper authority to discharge me on enquiry, I am ready to be examined.

I think no offer can be fairer from any person whatsoever; his conduct towards me is so infamous, that I am informed I might prosecute him by law if he was here; he demanding the whole sum as a debt from Mr.Wortley, at the same time I have a note under his hand signed to prove the contrary.
