think I have deserved the treatment I have met with I am unaware of having injured any one in any way -- and cannot in the smallest degree account for the bitter hostility that has dogged my steps from the day I left Napier until now. Even the plans I conceived of private business I have deferred to you and am still waiting until you shall think fit to give me an answer -- In conclusion I must ask you to protect me so far as in truth and justice you can -- I am dear Sir Your most obed. Servant George B. Worgan The Hon.D. McLean
