1780. Sessions. [Monday] June 12.

“Mr. Andrews” “I did intend to have waited on you with a design to kick you but thinking it too Great a Condesction I content myself at Present with informing you, that you are a Most Contemptible purseproud dirty insolent vegetation from a nothing a fellow that is under every obligation on Earth to his Employers that I never mean to lay out with you a single annas is my firm intention and I believe it is much in my power to do you some Service – your Impudence Surpasses every thing I ever met with not only to me but many other Gentlemen who with respect to your deserts are exactly in the Opinion of Rd. Ralph. [Double Line]

“To Mr. Charles Duncan”
“Sir, Per Bearer I send the sum required and inform you that your Client is an infamous Scoundrel, I am your’s &c Richard Ralph.” “Please to return the Overplus if any.” The Grand Jury rejected the Indictment, but why I do not know: probably because they thought it no crime for an officer to write such Letters concerning a Serjeant and Bookseller.
