You will perceive my Dear Sir, the delicacy of the Communication inclosed,1 and I beg that it may not be made public, unless it should be deemed essential to the public’ safety, which must supersede every private consideration.

When a full account of this unprincipled Combination, shall be made public, General Wilkinson will be greatly obnoxious to the associates; but his fidelity to his Country, cannot fail to be justly appreciated by the good and virtuous. Perhaps a speedy disclosure might endanger the personal safety of the General, I wish it may be avoided.
