Sir, You would probably think yourself neglected, and unjustly deprived of that notice to which you are entitled, were I to pass you over in silence when examining the conduct of your Congress. …

Letter no. IV- addressed to John Jay- of the "Letters of Papinian: in which the conduct- present state and prospects- of the American Congress- are examined".

Attributed to Inglis in the Dictionary of American biography. Text printed in three columns. New-York Historical copy cropped and torn at edges- with slight loss of text.
