Rhonoke County VA Jan 29th 41 
Sir.  You know it to be a common thing or natural consiquence that when a man 
sees himself treated with an indifferance which borders on contempt to treat 
the individual who assaults his feelings so goodly, in the same contemptabe 
way, by letting him pass unnoticed especially, when the injured one possesses 
that noble ambition which is becoming, in every man, I mean a disposition which 
savers too strongly, of independence to suffer its notary to degrade himself so 
meanly as to covet the attention or friendship of any man who may not be 
disposed to bestow it in a friendly & famalliar way. 
But Sir other circumstances forbid my treating you as your treatment towards me 
seems to deserve and other circumstances urge me to leap over the mark which is 
generally down between Independence & condesention.  One cause of my writing is 
to ascertain if possible what powerfull misdeed I have been guilty of that has 
sunk me so low in your estimation as to forbid your writing to me. When I 
thought I had many good reasons to expect not only a letter but several letters 
as those among the first that you wrote after your arrival at Kentucky.  I 
would fain have you to write and inform me at least of what I am guilty that is 
savary derogatory to your liking as to justify you in using me as you do for 
the fact that you have written to every man, woman & child in Bedford County 
except myself is satisfactory proof that there must have been something in my 
former conduct not vary savoury to your taste or else that you have been most 
egregiously deceived and think it highly probable
