When Mr C called Mr Mac some ill name's/such as dam'd villian etc/ and further Mr C observed that when he left England for this Port he was anxious to bring any letters etc  the that might introduce him, or,  etc etc - accordingly Mr C went to the Post office at Portsmouth and found three letters numbered 1.2-3 addressed to Gov B which he carefully brought thinking that they - might be of service to him, but when Mr C came to this Port and finding Gov B in arrest he knew not what to do - but said that he took the letters upto Government house and layed the three letters on the sofa when Mr  Mac came in and took the said letters and broke them open read them and kept them. Mr C was a little warm when he returned the above & inquired if it was not a [?] act upon which Mr M observed  that perhaps the letters was on service and Mr Mac was ordered to do so by the Lt Gov to which Mr C replied there no such thing and that he veryly believed that they was private letters from Gov B & wife - upon which Mr B told him never to mention the same again and soon after Mr B withdrew and went home leaving Msrs C.J. & H by themselves --------------
