Text: I know that I shall incur much blame and harrassed (?) / not a little / God has in hi... / The vices committed by these hands the law can punish (all these words are crossed out with an ink line) - but those of the / heart are beyond its power / It will be objected, I have no doubt, that in a duel a man commits the 2 vices of suicide, & / murder of another for in wilfully subjecting his body / to the pistol of his opponent he commits / the one & in seeking to destroy his enemy / hre perpetrates the other - / This is but too true, but which is preferable / fair & open combat, or a papination? / surely the former.-
