Abstract:
Hurt by Guion's lack of response to the numerous letters he has sent. Writes of the comforts of family. Wishes to remain friends despite distance. Writes of John Cozine, who he calls a "Traitor." "… when I reflect on his Baseness, how keen the Recollection that by withdrawing myself from her Protection she became exposed to a Wretch, lost to every Sense of Honor, who from our former Intimacy ought rather to have supported than to have attempted the Ruin of Virtue." Hopes to one day "revenge the attempted injury, or bring him to that Infamy & Want which generally are the Extremes of ill gotten Wealth, the inseparable Companions of Debauchery and Extravagance." Making £250 per year at the Sunbury Academy, and hopes to gain the "Office of Collector, for this Port" and take in boarders. See also G. Mott ALS to [Isaac] Guion, May 17, 1783, in the Schoff Revolutionary War Collection.
