1159. Nathaniel White to his brother Cornelius. How goes on the scrutiny? Many stories are in circulation here propogated by Barrys faction all so palpably & grossly untrue that I have exerted myself in stopping their currency. None of them however interfering with my fame but all directed against the magistracy & gentility of Shelburne. ''Church & state are both suffering under the venom of their treacherous tongue - 'Tis now quite plain to me that Barry has been urged on by the canting crew to make this determined stand & that radicalism in religion & policitcks...mutually beget each other.'' Holograph.
