You certainly do injustice to Harris, the editor of the "Union." In the beginning I paid some attention to the course of the paper in regard to yourself, and I think it was unexceptionable: I know he stood firm amidst a shower of abuse from the extremists.

I never saw nor did I ever hear of the communication published in the "Union" to which you refer, and Harris has no recollection of it.
I requested him to find me the number and send it to me; but this he has not done.

He is not responsible in any degree for the non-publication of the letters to which you refer.[10] I knew nothing of them until after the receipt of yours; and upon inquiry I found their publication had been prevented by Mr.Cobb under a firm conviction that they would injure both yourself and the Administration.
Whether he judged wisely or not I cannot say, for I never saw them.

That he acted in fairness and friendship I have not a doubt.
He was anxious that General Whitfield should publish a letter and prepared one for him, expecting he would sign it before he left.
He sent this letter after him for his approval and signature; but it has not been returned.

I know not what are its contents.
General W.doubtless has the letter in his possession.
