Relates that he is going to spend the day in Dorchester with "our friend Ben" [probably Hichborn]. Only has time to enclose a memo from Ben "on the subject of the Reference - you will observe they have changed their ground, & will do every thing in their power to take every advantage of you." Relates that Ben and [Edward] Robbins are aware of the problem and "will contract them if it is in the power of Man to do it." They will do everything in their power to "frustrate their designs."
