Scope and Contents
Is sorry his letter caused him so much distress, especially at the time of his illness. In his suit against Wills, he was awarded only £5 as against £50-60 which he ought to have received. Testimony of Collin Wills was that he struck his father with a sword. The jury was biased and he thought it best to let the matter alone rather than order a new trial.
