Breast any Suspicion that I could imagine / that I could imagine that I was bound by your Excellencys Orders to / expose myself to what has happened. The / Events of coming within an Enemys posts / and of Changing my dress which led / me to my present Situation were contrary / to my own Intentions as they were to your / Orders; and the circuitous route which / I took to return was imposed (perhaps / unavoidably) without alternative upon / me. I am perfectly and tranquil in / mind and prepared for any Fate to / which an honest Zeal for my Kings / Service may have devoted me.
