The Courant Letter to Barrittier About Law Tricks

A lengthy defense and counterattack in a public feud. The writer accuses the recipient of misusing the law to seize estates and delay contracts, asserts innocence and integrity, and demands proof of alleged schemes while detailing court pressures and alleged defamations. The tone is sharp, with references to letters, receipts, and legal maneuvers, and it critiques the foe’s conduct and character.
