of German bayonets and sabres, and when I had on my head a 

 thousand pounds fine and seven years recognizances. You, at the 

 end of the two years, took me from the prison, in your carriage, 

 home to your house. You and our kind friend, WALKER, are, 

 even yet, held in bonds for my good behaviour, the seven years not 

 being expired. All these things are written in the very cord of my 

 heart ; and when I act as if I had forgotten any one of them, may 

 no name on earth be so much detested and despised as that of 



Your faithful friend, 



And most obedient servant, 



WM. COBBETT.
