Abstract:
Reflects on an accusation that he "was a married man… she considered me an uncommon great impostor or one who would without the least degree of hesitation or Bashfulness (using much deceit & treachery) stain corrupt or ruin the character of an honest ladys daughter." Uncertain what behavior of his caused the recipients to believe this of him. "... has my verry person appeared in your sight as the character of one who would rob the innocent of their just & peacible state of Celibacy." Assures them he came only for a social visit, did not think that Mary was "a lady of Libertine Base or cruel disposition," and that he has never been married.
