These Sir are the leading and principal features of the diabolical purpose said to be in view, and altho’ although I have the happiness to say that His Excellency has arrived safe at New Castle, yet as the measure may be still attempted I request your earliest communication on this most highly important subject in order to my taking or suggesting such measures as may be deemed necessary to frustrate it— one object will be the result, which is that H M Brig Lady Nelson will be dispatched to New Castle as soon as possible after the arrival of the bearer hereof (a Dragoon) with your answer— The importance of the case and the necessity for promptitude will sufficiently point out the imperious necessity for your speedy answer, and leaves me only to express the utmost reliance on your loyalty and zeal on the occasion. I have the honor to be Revd Sir Your Obedt obedient Humble servant (Signed) J.T. Campbell Revd. Saml.
