It is your duty, both for the sake of God and of Christ, to execute justice, and to inquire what harm I have done to the murderer sufficient to deserve assassination, or even injury.

_You now stand in the place of his Excellency the Vizier_.

I request you will do me justice.

What more can I say?
"P.S.

I am also desirous to show you my wounds." * * * * * _From the same, 29th [7th ?] January, 1784._ "You have been duly informed of all the circumstances relative both to the murder of the innocent, and of my being wounded, as well by my former letter, as by the messenger whom you sent to inquire into the state of my health; and I have every reason to hope, from your known kindness, that you will not be deficient in seeking out the assassin.
