I do not wonder that he lost his reason! But I have information that his insanity has taken on the mildest form, and that his friends are only keeping him at the hospital until they can get a pardon from the governor.

It is in your power and mine to establish his innocence at once.

I leave you a single mouth in which to do this, and at the same time screen yourself, if that be possible.

If, at the end of a month, it is not done, then a copy of this letter, with a circumstantial statement of the whole iniquitous affair, will be placed in the hands of your husband, and another in the hands of your daughter.

I have so provided for this that no failure can take place.
