Summary
Concerning the accusations made by Brown against Arnold; saying of Brown "as infamous a Gallows Bird as ever escaped & who will e'er long grace a Gallows if he has his deserts. his Scandalous reflections where he is known can injure no Man, but will rather Serve to establish his Character - whenever I have an opport'y of seeing him, he shall no longer have reason to complain for want of Satisfaction, he shall have more than he Chuses, in the mean time, I shall lay his infamous conduct before Congress, who I make no Doubt will punish the Scoundrel as he Deserves."
