Dear CharleyⒶemendation—
Is not using my name in that way a kind of forgery, or obtaining money under false pretenses? And can it not be punished? If yes, go ahead. Ⓐemendation
Ys trulyⒶemendation

Your Censor letter was very good indeed, as both your aunt Livy & I think. Osgood is back.
How much could I punish them? To what extent? Jail?—or several thousand dollars damages? Ask Mr. Whitford. Meantime I have a suit pending in Chicago which may cover the case of these Ogilvie bastards.
