Memucan Hunt to David G. Burnet, June 3, 1836

bad consequences than any other which it is
in the power of the imagination to conceive, and
let me implore you, Gentlemen, in the name of
civil liberty, in the name of every thing that
is dear, to the memory of your gallant ancestors,
to yield to the public will. You had better
resign your place. [Y]ou had best do anything
not dishonorable, than to meet, and have this
community to meet, the consequences that must,
(depend upon it) that must inevitably accrue.

I have the honor to be
your most ob^t Sv^t  
Memucan W. Hunt
