'Well sir you have now put the crown on all the injurious abuse that I have suffered from you for these three years and a half, and that in despite of your word of honour which no miserable pretext can justify. If I have ever done ought either to you or your correspondents to deserve this it was unintentional. For my own part I would have regarded this wanton attack as I did all the rest of the ribaldry and mockery that has been so liberally vomited forth on me from your shop but there are other feelings now besides my own that I am bound to respect, and on these the blows that you inflict wound deeper and smart with more poignancy' [Hogg is referring to his wife]
