My correspondence with his Lordship has been so small that I can scarcely venture myself to urge these objections.

You perhaps will feel no such scruple.

I have seen no person who did not concur in the propriety of stating them.

I would entreat, however, that should you think it right to introduce my name into any statement made to Lord Byron, you will not do it without assuring him of my unwillingness to oppose the smallest obstacle to his wishes, or give the slightest pain to his mind.

The injury which, in my judgment, he is from day to day inflicting upon society is no justification for measures of retaliation and unkindness.
Your obedient and faithful Servant, J.W.
