Addressed to 'Sir'. He says 'I am very ready to give my support to a paper so well suited to the times as yours. You will therefore be pleased to send it to me every day. As I am not yet fixed in London for the winter, send it by the general post to this place until further notice. As for the numbers that have already been published, you may send them in one parcel to London House, The Deanery at Westminster. I have not seen in any of the public prints any good account of my speech in the House of Lords, in reply to the Earl of Lauderdale on the 2nd reading of the Treason Bill. If I should think to furnish you with a copy, which I can do..... I committed it to writing the same night as soon as I returned from the house and can give it a place in the Tomahawk in the course of this week etc... Signed 'I am sir, Your Servt. S.Rochester.

Also with an early 1813 print of Samuel Horsley.
