Summary
Returning some papers to her and stating that he has "read them with positive loathing", and that his "opinion of the Gentleman (!!) in question was previously nearly as low as possible but I confess I hardly thought him capable of such blackgaurdly cowardice and unmanly brutality", and concluding that "He is only fit to be shot like a cur."
