manuscript copy of Mr. Craw
ford's letter, published by Mr.
Forsyth, had been in circula

to the appearance of Mr. Cal

sent to us for publication, had
been thumbed until it was as
black as a worn out primmer.
Other copies, we learn, had
been in circulation at Rich

are some who insist that the
correspondence was a fire
