Goddard or the Serjeants lives to save his character of consistency. But the Character is alas too Common - many more fear men than fear God'.

Mr Wright prayed for if he did not revenge as he call'd it an enormous offence in which he partook. as to the excuse of being in liquor it will be of no use an officer drunk should still be a Gentleman . this has been perpetrated by officers of the same Corps and in the same place; where a young officer was tried for murder and I was happily instrumental in assisting him . Every body here whom I have consulted cry out shame . My best wishes attend all at the Pallace. Again be cautious you cannot medle sic too little in this business.' Letter Six: 29 December 1759. 3 pp. 61 lines of text. He is glad that his correspondent 'ceas'd speaking upon the subject' at Marchmont House 'when he perceiv'd the state of things.

I fear whatever may be the Event of the Court martial as to Mr Wright - I much apprehend obloquy will follow it'. He hopes to see Mrs Tonyn when the Captain who is 'a slave by trade & calling' comes.

He feels that he can give an account 'sufficient for yr. purposes without risking inaccuracies wh. opponents might attack'. He begins as follows: 'You are probably aware that after the fiscal follies of the earlier part of the last century the people of the United States resolutely set their faces against taxation except for revenue purposes for the absolute necessities of the Govt. - this lasted till the outbreak of the Civil War when the extraordinary demands upon the Treasury required widespread taxation - & wherever home industries were taxed equivalent or greater import duties were levied.' There follows a detailed analysis of the question concluding: 'Free Trade v. Protection has been a lifelong study for me & I have been so mixed up with the question in the US & with Bright & Cobden in this country that it is difficult for me to believe that we are really committed to a further struggle to maintain the wonderful position wh. Free Trade has given to this country.' From the Evans family papers. On letterhead of Phesdo House, Laurencekirk, Kincardineshire, N.B. 12 October 1903. unknown
