Sir — when the Sentence of the Law was passed upon me; I received it, I trust , as became a Man; & if it had been carried into Execution, I shou'd have met my Fate I hope in a Manner becoming a Christian. — Your Admonition cannot fail to make a lasting Impression on my Mind — I receive with Gratitude my Sovereign's Mercy, for which, my future Life shall be faithfully devoted to his Service.
