All of this which I had done, he refused to give me one dollar for, and it was with great difficulty that I got my money back.

I had to put it into another man's hands, as his property, to recover it.

This man, probably, had two objects in view when he went to Waterbury to flatter me away.

He did not want me to be there with my name on the movements and cases, and therefore he made me a first-rate offer.

I had been broken up in all my business, and felt very anxious to be doing something again.
